I see he is a real altruist, this hacker man.

I'm sure his hack will change nothing

The FBI isn't going to be happy about their honeypots being temporarily shut down.

>>108719
someone better get ready for a visit from the IRS...

>>108706
The pedos will throw bitcoins at him and he will do nothing. Also, while doing it for free would prove he is an altruistic goody2shoes to other humans, what other people think doesn't matter. The important thing is he did a good thing and earned a pretty penny to boot. Sounds like we're dealing with a true übermensch.

>>108752
Seriously if you ever want to hack someone for money, hack pedos. Any other action on their part would lead to them being found out. They have the money to spend and moreover they deserve it.

Eventually I want to make a ransomware that specifically targets pedo sites.

>>108752
>>109001
Any respectable pedo will have all the content from these websites, and will be ready to share it elsewhere.
Getting such website – or any website on the darknet – hacked, is a sign to ditch it, as it might already be a honeypot, and definitely do not connect to it, if you are owner. Non stupid people will have complete backups of their websites.

>respectable pedo
Right, because pedophiles are renowned for their logic and rationality

Anonymous is total bullshit.

They didn't do ANYTHING.

Don't bring this clickbait here.

"Apparently, the data stolen from Freedom Hosting II, are also of interest to the FBI, but hacking is already scared most administrators of sites with child porn, so keep track of them as well as the visitors of these resources, proven way the FBI is now unlikely to succeed."

>>108633
And yet America is overblown with welfare niggers.

>>108633
Well this is obviously someone posing as Anonymous, since they have been a bunch of faggots since the actual anonymous got arrested and got replaced with faggot activist script kids.

Current anonymous isn't capable of something outside of DDoS attacks and ordering pizza for people.

>>109085
Well, yeah. It continues unabated and theoccasional big busts just underline the numbers involved who ellude capture. The same is true of the drug trade. It looks full of retards except everywhere in the US has access to their stock and higher ups manage to command large well-armed cartels. Picking up the occasional nonce with a full harddrive of pizza is no different to picking up users or drug mules. The ones who know they're doing move on and set up elsewhere.

>>109135
except that community still hasn't recovered fully from the original freedom hosting bust from years ago

drugs are a lot more fluid than cp, there's only so many ways you can anonymously transfer digital media to a lot of people securely.

i'm not sure at all but i also feel like there's probably a lot more drug uses and drug pushers than there are cp collectors and especially cp producers, so it could actually be a case where law enforcement can outrace the cp community by ramping up their busts.

>>108633
>"Anonymous" takes down 20%

looks like CIA or NSA just canceled some of own projects after Trump came into power.

>>108633
Way to go, fucknut. You took down virtually all the honeypot sites and potentially ruined investigations into 10s of thousands of individuals. Give yourself a clap on the back, because karma will be along shortly.

Everyone knows the FBI distributes more child porn than the pedos themselves. Even Masha Allen tried to sue the FBI on those grounds. Yet Law Enforcement everywhere seems to think catching one guy is worth re-victimizing 1,500 children. Think about that.

This doesn't tell me anything though, exactly how many vans full of child porn were blown up?

don't bully pls

20% wow that's an impressive quantity of dark web well done

>takes down 20% of the dark web
Yeah, no.
>>109155
Because setting up cp sites on for is annoying.

>>108633
Fags.
There's bigger evil in the world. CP is horrendous, but playing tiddly-winks to take out dark web sites is bullshit and doesn't really solve anything anyway.
Nice try trying to appear powerful, fags. Go take on the kings of the world or their henchmen if you want respect.
