Hacktivist collective distances itself from data dump purporting to out several politicians as Ku Klux Klan members, which was quickly discredited
The hacktivist collective known as Anonymous has denied involvement in a data-dump on Monday that incorrectly outed several politicians as being members of the Ku Klux Klan.
On 29 October, the group said on a Twitter account called Operation KKK and through a YouTube video that it had obtained a list of names of KKK members which it said it had obtained through a hacked Klan-linked Twitter account, and pledged to release them.
