Anonymous Exposes 1GB Data Belonging to Thailand’s Supreme Court

The data reportedly belongs to the Supreme Court of Thailand. It seems like the data, which was uploaded yesterday, was stolen last Wednesday when the Anonymous launched DDoS attacks against hundreds of Thai court websites.
The Blink Hacker Group, which is among the many divisions of Anonymous, accidentally stumbled upon this massive wealth of data while attempting to deface Thailand Supreme Court website. The stolen data includes documents, payrolls and other valuable information. Blink Hacker Group is also participating in this operation with Anonymous.
The Blink Hacker Group is also participating in this operation with Anonymous. According to the hackers, apart from information related to the website of the Supreme Court, their team also got hold of data related to the day-to-day operations of the institution.
Evidently, the system administrator of the court believed that it would be a safe bet to use the Web server as a database for storing a variety of information like budget files, payroll slips, pension information and criminal case data.
Not to forget, that the sysadmin stored such massive database on a single machine, thereby making the job of hacker pretty simplistic. So, the hackers stole the data and now have exposed it online, after all, they all are after the unjust Thai justice system and the corrupt ways of the legal and law enforcement departments.
Apparently, with operation #BoycottThailand, Anonymous aims to pressurize Thai legal system. This operation was started after the Thai Supreme Court sentenced two Myanmar migrant workers to death.
The two workers were accused of raping and murdering two British tourists. In a 37-minute long video, which was released by Anonymous and a press statement, the hacker group explained in detail why it was after Thailand’s police and justice departments.

The group detailed a long list of criminal cases created against the immigrants in Thailand, which were seemingly based upon dodgy evidence.
As per Anonymous, the law enforcement tortured the accused individuals in all the cases and also, surprisingly, in all the listed cases police lost key evidence that could have helped the suspects gain freedom.
Another ironic similarity between the cases as mentioned by Anonymous was that all involved foreign tourists who were visiting Thailand.
Anonymous believes that Thailand justice and law enforcement institutions are making a mockery out of these trials just to keep the country’s image as a tourist haven intact even on the cost of sacrificing lives of the innocent workers/immigrants.

World's First Anonymous Communications Network Called "PrivaTegrity" Launched

Anonymous Communications Network Called PrivaTegrity launched Encryption Guru, David Chaum has released a new anonymity network concept called ‘PrivaTegrity’ that aims to fix many of Tor’s current problems, both in the legal and technical department. Chaum presented his paper, called “cMix: Anonymization by High-Performance Scalable Mixing” at the Real World Cryptography Conference in Stanford on 6th January, 2016.

His paper, called “cMix: Anonymization by High-Performance Scalable Mixing,” presents an evolution of the Mix Network concept, called cMix. The paper addresses several issues that governments and regular users had with the Mix Network. According to Chaum, now researchers plan to use this new cryptography protocol to build their own, more secure PrivaTegrity network, as an alternative to Tor.

According to their research paper (page 1 – Section I, and page 4 – Chapter III-D), for each communications path established in a cMix network, the message sender creates connections with a series of trusted servers, with which it shares a series of keys.
When the sender sends out a message, its data is multiplied with all the keys. As the message passes through each server, it is divided with each server’s corresponding key, but also multiplied again by a random number. Messages are then stored randomized in each server’s buffer.
When the data needs to be retrieved and sent to the receiver, each server will retrieve the message from its random position, divide out the random numbers, and then multiply it with the recipient’s keys.
When the data arrives on the recipient’s computer, their keys are used to divide the data and decrypt the message.

Chaum says that by moving most of the computational operations to the server, instead of the client, cMix achieves the same transfer speeds as Tor, but unlike its predecessor, it is not vulnerable to a series of “tagging” attacks.
Tagging attacks rely on compromising Tor nodes, which on their own allow attackers to tag input slots with their output location. By using cMix’s setup, the protocol is not vulnerable to these type of attacks, unless the malicious actor compromises all the elements of the protocol, which is very rare.
Additionally, researchers said that, in PrivaTegrity, tagging attacks are also blocked by how users set up keys with network nodes.
“PrivaTegrity aims to provide privacy at a technical level that is not penetrable by nation states,” the researchers claim. “PrivaTegrity implements a new approach to user identification requiring each user to provide a small but different type of identifying information to each mix node.

Anonymous Declare War on Facebook! (2016)



Many Anonymous Posting on Facebook About Facebook Spam Filter and Their Accounts are getting blocked by Facebook for no Reason just doing freedom of Speech!
From last month Facebook is Giving Verifications and Banning People from their Community because of huge amount of Facebook Usage! They wanted to make sure Everyone having a single account on their community.

So called Freedom of Speech!
Greetings my fellow Anonymous brothers & sisters recently Facebook the biggest & most corrupt social media giant out there has been censoring profiles that are associated with Anonymous the reason for this being is that Facebook does not allow you to have any privacy what so ever & you are not allowed to be Anonymous now ask yourself this question why would they remove these profiles?? well the answer is simple these following people were Anonymous & wanted to remain Anonymous we will not stand by & watch our fellow brothers & sisters have their accounts being tampered with Facebook you shall expect us.
There more videos and News Posted About Anonymous Declare War on Facebook!
Since Anons are busy Doing Operations, Facebook Removing them from Joining and Doing Activism and fighting for there rights! So they are moving to other social communities like there own IRC Networks hidden Networks and Social Media!

Let’s Find out Why Facebook Block?

The reason is because someone or you, tried accessing your Facebook account from a region or location not familiar with Facebook.

Another factor that could result to this is device. Yes sometimes the kind of device you use in accessing your Facebook account could result in your account temporarily blocked.
We know how much our Facebook friends mean to us and it would be very disastrous to wake up one morning to find out that your Facebook account is temporarily blocked, so inorder to prevent this, i have come up with some certain things to avoid.

1. Don’t Access your Facebook account using proxy servers. Proxy servers are anonymous ips used in accessing blocked sites, using such servers might cause negatively effect to your Facebook account. Through not all proxies affects, but proxies unknown to facebook will affect so i think its better you dont use them.

2. Prevent Using Too Many Devices In Accessing Your Facebook Account : Lately, there has been lots of devices that allow direct log on to Facebook thus allowing you to sign in to your account, am not saying this third party devices will cause harm but preventing the use of too many will definitely keep you on a safer side.

I think so far so good this are the common issues that leads to temporary locking of Facebook accounts based on my speculations but i really wonder why Facebook has to fix just one verification process which is very difficult to answer, i just hope they make things better when next mark does he’s changes as usual.

Anonymous Accuses "Cloudflare" For Protecting ISIS Sites.

The Confliction between Anonymous and ISIS still on the way of Cyberwar but some of the Silicon Valley cybersecurity firm are trying to protect some of the ISIS users by providing more security, Anonymous presumes that ISIS uses this sites in next war strategy propaganda which US firms anyhow trying to protect this ISIS sites.

The US-based Silicon Valley CloudFlare is web security firm now being blamed by Anonymous hacktivist on Twitter account that CloudFlare firm is protecting ISIS several web servers from being hacked - being identified by Anonymous – Isn’t a question arises that there will no difference between what Telegram CEO does and what CloudFlare cyber firm is doing right now – without knowing their customer they are providing full support of web security and ISIS is using many sites with CLoudFlare. CloudFlare is providing anti-DDoS service to its customers including ISIS.


Anonymous Charged US Security Firm For Protecting ISIS Sites
Picture






How does really concern all about this for Anonymous.. they are Anonymous and can hack into any sites or server – but the favourite way they hack is DDoS service in which hackers can generate hundreds or thousands of traffic into one site which led site process slow and leave a vulnerability to hack into it – but another way Anonymous Hacktivist are using is controlling thousands of online PCs which also will work like DDoS attack directing to one particular site.

Currently, CloudFlare is having more than 4 million customers including ISIS site and that’s the big problem for Anonymous is facing right now – Anonymous claiming CloudFlare to avoid suspension on ISIS site regarding providing web servers more secure from the previous one. As far if we think behalf of CloudFlare firm they are providing for just their valuable customers and also every firm needs goodwill and better feedback from its customers – apart from ISIS sites other sites are also having servers with CloudFlare and now they are secure.CloudFlare Providing security and knowing their customers is not the only thing but also imperative to examine the content what customers like ISIS is publishing.

Matthew Prince the co-founder of CloudFlare reply to the comment by Anonymous “The Anonymous uses valueless claims which undergo the situation, supporting terror group like ISIS is not any gain for us neither we are promoting ISIS, just providing security to our customers”

#OpParis: 5,500 ISIS Twitter Accounts Taken Down By Anonymous Group

Hacktivist group Anonymous declared war "biggest operation ever" against the isis on sunday.They said "Anonymous from all over the world will hunt you down.”

After Announcing the war,The hacktivist group Anonymous reportedly took down more than 5,500 Twitter accounts associated with ISIS, just a day after their declaration of war against the militant group.
“Our capability to take down ISIS is a direct result of our collective's sophisticated hackers, data miners, and spies that we have all around the world. We have people very, very close to ISIS on the ground, which makes gathering intel about ISIS and related activities very easy for us.”
Poucher added that the hacktivist group “will not sit by and watch these terror attacks unfold around the world.”

Yesterday, Anonymous declared a “total war” on ISIS in response to the deadly attacks in Paris.  Shortly after, ISIS responded, calling the hackers “idiots.”  According to our friends at Newsbreaker, the message came through the encrypted chat service "Telegram" believed to be affiliated with ISIS.  The message reportedly read: "The #Anonymous hackers threatened in a new video release that they will carry out a major hack operation on the Islamic state (are) idiots... what are they going to hack?"
ISIS did admit that Anonymous has managed to hit some email and Twitter accounts.  They’ve gone so far now that they’ve released guidelines to their followers on how to avoid being hacked.  The Telegraph reports these instructions included warnings to us VPN, a tool to make the user’s location online, as well as changing the IP address constantly.

Large-Scale DDOS Attacks on TOR Exit Nodes



Recently, there have been several reports of DDOS attacks being directed at TOR exit nodes. While a few of these reports are consistent, it is often difficult to assess a threat via community interaction alone. One user has posted a PGP-signed message on November 9th, and contained the following warning:
“Hi, I am the operator of several exit nodes and would like to stay anonymous due to the nature of the given attacks. Since Thursday (05.11.2015 1800 UTC) I have seen large DDoS attacks on each of my exit nodes from a common /16 source. The attacks originate from UK.”
Along with this claim were several other coincidental connections made by users of the /r/darknetmarkets subreddit. Several website owners have made DDOS announcements, such as Quantik and ScamLogs.
Quantik has specifically stated that these attacks are “massive”, and directly linked his finding to the TOR Project’s metrics website. At the time of posting, the graph clearly indicated that “1/3 of TOR relays simultaneously crashed”. However, it is important to clarify that it was only at the time of posting – since then, the graph detailing the November 4th crash appears to show only a slight decline, not anything like it was at the time of posting.
One user speculated that this was simply a glitch in the TOR metrics website.
“It’s a glitch on the charts. This can be verified by comparing the relay-descriptor consensus from 11/4 and 11/7. There were roughly 6625 relays running on 11/4 and around 6600 on 11/7.”
While the “glitchy graph” theory does explain a lot, one of the biggest recent “mysteries” was the disappearance of the Abraxas Marketplace. While this was most likely just an elaborate exit-scam, with the site mysteriously disappearing after the Bitcoin price increased, it’s important to not disregard it entirely, as it does contain some unusual evidence.
For days before Abraxas ceased to function, users reported very slow servers and difficulty logging into the marketplace. This could be synonymous with a targeted DDOS attack, and even more suspiciously,this image was posted on the /r/darknetmarkets subreddit by user /u/BoxersCompany. The validity of this is obviously a huge concern – for one, the operating system looks completely unsecured and vulnerable, as well as unprofessional. While this could be /u/BoxersCompany simply trolling the “community” for drama, it is still worth mentioning as it could be a clue to something larger.
At this time last year, early November, The DNM community witnessed Operation Onymous, an international law enforcement operation targeting many Darknet Markets and many other hidden services on the TOR network. There were over 400 seized sites, including SilkRoad 2, Cloud 9, and Hydra. This was a collaborative joint effort by the FBI, ICE, HSI, and European Law Enforcement acting through Europol and Eurojust.
It seems unlikely that law enforcement would simply stop pursuing a large criminal platform, and with more unusual events springing up, such as Agora voluntarily shutting down only to be replaced by Abraxas, who is currently MIA. Arrests are plausible, and certainly not a stretch to assume, however, exit scams are far more prevalent than an event of this magnitude, so it’s important to note that this is all purely speculation.
There seems to be an array of puzzle pieces strewn across the dark net, and all we can do is try and put them together to form a bigger picture and a wider perspective of the situation. Let’s just hope that law enforcement doesn’t come along and solve the puzzle for us, as anything is possible at this point.
Remember, stay safe and informed. Now more than ever, the community needs to come together and advocate safe practices while remaining vigilant.
