Pedophiles connecting to a concealed child pornography site got an unwelcome surprise last week, courtesy of the hacktivist group Anonymous. Lolita City, a child pornography site run on over a concealed “darknet,” has been taken down by Anonymous members, and account details of 1,589 users from the site’s database were posted as evidence.

It's funny how OP has a hentai related avatar. Almost just as gay.

[TheNewGirl]

Anon's done plenty of this stuff before. The whole attack on this bunch of kiddy porn servers has been going on a while.

I like the "Either use a Proxy or say hi to the FBI"..

Implying that using a proxy is some sort of fail safe against I.P tracking..

"Good luck, I'm behind 7 proxies"

"I'm gonna create a GUI using visual basic to track down the killers I.P address"

I love script kiddies.

[BaoTurbo]

Yea I heard of the kind of deeper side of the internet, but great job on Anonymous by proving its not all safe proof and such

how does hentai relate to being a pedophile?

I have yet to see tentacle rape happen in the news lately...:whistle:

However my JAV collection does contain a vid of Hitomi Tanaka getting serviced by tentacles...not as arousing as it sounds...:okay:

[dangonay]

Anonymous is just a bunch of self-serving "look at what I can do" assholes. So what good will this accompllish? Will any of these pedophiles they "outed" ever get charged? No. Because any "evidence" was gathered illegally and couldn't be used in court.

Sort of like Chris Hansen and "To Catch A Predator" where charges were dropped against most (if not all) of the "predators" because of how the "sting" was set up.

If Anonymous had info on these people they should have turned it over to the FBI so they could properly investigate it (for example, by getting a court-issued warrant to monitor them). This way you'd have 1,589 pedophiles getting charged in court instead of 1,589 pedophiles who are still free and will simply find another way to distribute their filth.

In fact, do we even know if there was already an investigation going on and now that Anonymous shut things down they completed destroyed that investigation?

Like I said, bunch of loser assholes.

what in the hell did they do to you to deserve such a belittling? I don't see you doing anything to make this world a better place..

What did they do? They let 1,589 pedophiles off-the-hook and scared them all away to seek alternative methods to continue their trading of child porn, when they could have handed the authorities something that would have made a huge impact in getting these assholes behind bars.

As a father, that really pisses me off.

Hentai is just a front for animated child porn.

:rukidding:

[SkinnyPupp]

It is. In Japan, anime stores are absolutely synonymous with porn stores. And the further into these you go, the more freaky it gets. And it doesn't take long at all to get to the kiddie stuff.

Just because you don't (admit to) participating in it, doesn't make it not so. So please don't be offended

Im not arguing you on that point, but the same can be said for any porn store. Dig a little deeper and youll find all kinds of nasty shit. AFAIC Lolicons are fucking pedos too. That shit is just wrong.

Despite what people assume, hentai and people who like it are shunned in Japan. Some might think it's "cool" to identify themselves as "otaku" but real otaku are... Into that....

For me, it's "to each their own". If it's animated, nobody is being harmed, and it can probably be considered a safe outlet, I guess... I was shocked when I first saw "junior idol" videos right there on the shelves of a used dvd store.

BTW the terms "dvd" and "pc game" in katakana are also pretty much synonymous with perverted porn. So if you see a sign like that, it'll have that stuff 99% of the time

:rukidding: 1589 pedos is a fraction of the amount of offenders there are out there. also it doesn't state what they have and haven't done with the user database they got from the site.

[Psykopathik]

any evidence police have collected beforehand is still evidence. its not like "oh we shut off our servers so you can't touch us"

[Ronin]

Otaku simply means they have some kind of obsession. It doesn't mean they're straight up into animated porn or animated child porn, although that seems to be the case more often than not. Some of them are quite proud of their tastes even though society seems to look down on otaku culture, even today.

There's quite a difference between an otaku and regular geeks that just enjoy smartphones and video games. Otaku is almost synonymous with unhealthy obsessions with video games, anime, action figures or whatever. You hear about otaku in Tokyo spending all their money on anime, comics and whatever and having very little left for housing, clothing and food which results in the tiny apartments full of plastic models of anime girls inhabited by poorly dressed, malnourished nerds.

Yeah, Akihabara is a scary ass place.

Hacking "mole" helps FBI arrest Anonymous leaders
Tue Mar 6, 2012 10:13pm EST
By Basil Katz and Grant McCool


NEW YORK (Reuters) - One of the world's most-wanted hackers secretly became an FBI informant last year, providing evidence that led to charges on Tuesday against five other suspected leaders of the Anonymous international hacking group.

In a major blow to Anonymous, which has attacked the websites of government agencies and companies around the world, U.S. authorities revealed that a leading hacker "Sabu" was Hector Xavier Monsegur and that he was arrested at his small apartment in a Manhattan housing complex last June.

At a secret court hearing on August 15, 2011, Monsegur, 28, pleaded guilty to each of the 12 computer crimes and agreed to cooperate with authorities in exchange for leniency, according to a transcript that was made public on Tuesday.

U.S. prosecutors and the FBI on Tuesday announced charges against five other men, including two in Britain and two in Ireland who were all previously arrested.

The fifth was Jeremy Hammond, known as "Anarchaos," who was arrested in Chicago on Monday on charges of hacking into Strategic Forecasting Inc, or "Stratfor," a global intelligence and research firm, in December 2011.

All six were top members of LulzSec, an offshoot of the loose-knit international cyber-activist group Anonymous.

"These cyber criminals affiliated themselves with Anonymous in different ways. They are not Anonymous today, they have been identified and charged," said a law enforcement official, who did not want to be identified as the investigation was ongoing.

LulzSec and Anonymous have taken credit for carrying out attacks against the CIA, Britain's Serious Organized Crime Agency, Japan's Sony Corp, Mexican government websites and the national police in Ireland. Other victims included Rupert Murdoch's UK newspaper arm News International, Fox Broadcasting and Sony Pictures Entertainment.

Cyber security experts said the arrests were a major setback for Anonymous and other hacking groups affiliated with it.

"Sabu was seen as a leader ... Now that Anonymous realizes he was a snitch and was working on his own for the Fed, they must be thinking: 'If we can't trust Sabu, who can we trust?'" said Mikko Hypponen, chief research officer at Finnish computer security company F-Secure.

"It's probably not going to be the end of Anonymous, but it's going to take a while for them to recover, especially from the paranoia," Hypponen said.

Other experts said it remained to be seen if the arrests would put an end to illegal hacking by Anonymous affiliates.

"You always worry in these things that they've got the guys at the fringes of the group," said Stewart Baker, a former senior official at the Department of Homeland Security and now a cyber security expert at the law firm Steptoe and Johnson.

INFORMANT HACKER "TRAITOR"

Online chat rooms favored by Anonymous filled on Tuesday with bile and worry about who would be next. One member warned that Monsegur had better have good FBI bodyguards, while others said the arrests could prompt retaliatory attacks.

The Anonymous-affiliated Twitter account @YourAnonNews called Monsegur a "traitor" and played down the charges, claiming "we don't have a leader."

The hacking movement he helped foment was still in action after his exposure. Late on Tuesday, hackers acting in the name of Antisec broke into websites owned by Panda Security, which had helped police investigate Anonymous before recent arrests in Europe.

The hackers left profanity-laden criticism of both the Spain-based company and Sabu. "Yeah yeah we know.Sabu snitched on us," they wrote. "Love to those who fight for something they believe in."

Born in New York, Monsegur attended college and worked at technology jobs, displaying a rare combination of hacking talent, working-class sensibility and political conviction. He said he first hacked for a cause more than a decade ago when he interfered with communications during controversial U.S. Navy bombing exercises in Vieques, Puerto Rico.

According to a posting on an online chat room in September that appears to include "Sabu," he was asked what advice he would give new hackers.

"Stick to yourselves," replied "Sabu." "If you are in a crew - keep your opsec up 24/7. Friends will try to take you down if they have to."

As a leader of Lulz Security (LulzSec), Monsegur took responsibility for attacks on the websites of eBay's PayPal, MasterCard Inc and Visa Inc between December 2010 and June 2011, according to court papers.

He is free on a $50,000 bond. One of the charges carries a possible maximum prison term of 30 years.

Representatives of the companies, which had been targeted because they refused to process donations to WikiLeaks, declined to comment on the arrests

A MILLION VICTIMS

Monsegur also identified himself as a member of hacking group "Internet Feds" while Hammond said he was a member of another Anonymous affiliate, "AntiSec," officials said.

A criminal complaint quotes one of Hammond's postings as saying, "We call upon all allied battleships, all armies from darkness, to use and abuse these password lists and credit card information to wreak unholy havoc upon systems and personal email accounts of these rich and powerful oppressors."

Lawyers for Monsegur and Hammond did not immediately return calls seeking comment on the charges.

U.S. authorities said the cyber attacks had affected more than 1 million people and the computer systems of foreign governments, such as Algeria, Yemen and Zimbabwe.

Authorities said Monsegur and three of the charged men raided personal information about 70,000 potential contestants on Fox Television show "X-Factor."

In another example of the hacking, officials said defendants and others broke into computer servers of HBGary company in California and Colorado, including about 60,000 emails and posted them on a file-sharing website.

In a May 2011 hack on Sony Pictures, some of the defendants stole confidential information of about 100,000 users of the Sony Pictures website, including passwords, email addresses, home addresses and dates of birth.

"I personally participated in cyber attacks on the systems of HBGary and Fox, resulting in a loss of more than $5,000, and I knew my conduct was illegal," Monsegur confessed in August at his plea proceeding.

Last summer, as part of a coordinated law enforcement raid on the group, British police arrested Jake Davis, another suspected member of LulzSec who went by the nickname "Topiary."

One of the cases announced on Tuesday was against Davis, a teenager accused of computer attacks on Sony, UK crime and health authorities, and Rupert Murdoch's UK newspaper arm News International, a unit of News Corp.

Davis is believed to have controlled the main Twitter account of Lulz Security, which the group used to publish data obtained by hacking into corporate and government networks.

LulzSec has more than 350,000 followers on Twitter.

Last month, Anonymous published a recording of a confidential call on January 17 between the FBI and London detectives in which the agents discussed action against hackers. One of the six arrested on Tuesday was Donncha O'Cearrbhail, 19, of Ireland, who was charged over the telephone intercept.

:seriously:

[dangonay]

LOL at some of their usernames: pwnsauce, rapesauce, anarchaos....

Just wait until Jimbo comes up to you in your cell and asks why you called yourself "rapesauce". Or the guys going to prison with a so-called "tough guy" username. They're going to have a rude awakening.

[smarv]

They can jail a couple guys but they can’t stop an idea. Anonymous is anyone who chooses to be so, to fight a higher authority whom takes advantage. If anything this will create more awareness which can only help the american people to realize the concept of revolution that the us government is trying to slow down.
