Be the change… Hacking is less brute force and more phishing. Not that hard and ICE is full of brain dead morons.
Humans are always the weakest point of any opsec
It could be a combination of both, for example heres a basic guide to hacking any government department or agency (which for legal purposes isnt a guide).
- You can very easily brute force your way into those unsecured DOGE email servers they have in everywhere in the US Gov rn (alternatively you can spoof a DOGE email very easily, if so skip to step 3)
- Once you brute force your way into the US Gov you can either take the route of brute forcing your way into the entire network compromising entire systems or you can send emails from the doge servers hacking individuals.
- Once the network is compomised slowly copy classified information and prepare the system to display your mesaage. Then delete the information from the internal system replacing it with your message, leak the information so everyone but them has it.
Hacking the US gov is easier than ppl think, it’s kinda like the Maginot line. You dont need to attack the governments most protected infrastructure, you only need a weak point to break in. In this case the weak point is the unsecured DOGE email servers that are easy to impersonate and easy to hack.
Hacking the US government is like the Chinese finger traps of hacking. Its easy enough to get in, but probably quite a mess when you go to get out. At least if they catch you anyways
If you’re hacking the US gov im pretty sure that means you’re willing to accept all risks associated to help fight Fascism. Yeah obviously it comes with risks, all forms of resistance does.
I thought anonymous was anyone who wants to be. In which case, lots of programmers on Lemmy, get on it!
What do you think would come of it?
Imagine you find transcripts that show the most powerful people saying the worst most racist stuff possible.
Then you find that they have massive data collected.
Then you find the heinous stuff they’re doing.
Nothing comes of it all. Pro ICE people are even happier.
There’s a perverse enjoyment in the pain of the other that these people enjoy. It would only make them happier.
Counterpoint - it’s not about exposing the powerful. Everyone already knows the evil shit they’re doing.
It’s about doxxing their rank and file and making sure we know who these masked thugs are.
They know where we live, and we pay their salary. Why shouldn’t we know where they live and what they’re doing to our community?
Know thy enemy, for he lives among us.
Yes. Do the peons. Start from the bottom up.
Theoretically, if someone would have started harassing Hitler’s low level thugs when he first got started then it would not have grown. It wouldnt need to be murderous. Slash some tires, break some windows … remember these are basically starter nazis that we are discussing.
They wear masks for a reason.
We have the panama papers, so many names from the Epstein list, snowden and all sorts of leaks. At this point I’m a bit of a defeatist. Lost all hope for any positive meaningful change.
I absolutely believe knowledge is vital and having it would be cool. But thats all it would be. Won’t translate to any meaningful change. What I presumed you had hoped by the hacks
Not exactly - those were strategic hacks designed to sway public opinion and engage a legal enforcement apparatus that proved to be toothless.
However, tactical hacks doxxing the rank and file combined with subsequent community action could have an enormous effect. Removing the masks of these thugs is key to protecting the innocents they’re targeting. After all, it’s our right as citizens to know who’s working for the government - we’re the ones paying their salaries.
As I said in a previous comment in response to a statement similar to yours, know thy enemy, for he lives among us.
Also, you posted this comment three times for some reason.
I want the names and addresses of the fucking foot soldiers. I can’t fight some asshole listed by Epstein or the Panama Papers. I can get eyes on local gestapo.

Sus
how?
They said “among us”
ffs
well what’s important to remember is that nothing anyone could possibly do would help, and everyone should give up and not resist fascism….
or, seriously, it takes a whole lot of things.
They’d gain 10 approval points in the south.
So ignorance is bliss?
Never underestimate the skill, finess, and power of Furry Hackers.
I will cosplay my cat and start an OnlyFans if Anon follows through on this one.
are you trying to discourage them?
Depends on who they are. My cat is pretty hot.
🥵 i stand corrected
Is blackface cool if you’re dressed like a black cat? 🤔
Prrr’de good question.
Anonymous (“whoever they are”) did shit the first time through this turd circus. Let’s see them redeem themselves.
I think they hacked an airline connected to them recently
Defacing a website isn’t all that useful tho. It got the name of the airline in the press, but that was about it.
The flight manifests were also released, with passenger info and other flight data confirming the status of some people who had been disappeared. The hacker said they were able to access GlobalX’s AWS buckets to grab and delete data, and they also sent messages to the flight crews directly.

I read that ICE and CBP are using that signal app fork that Hegseth et al are using, and that has already been hacked, so it should be easy enough for them to take it from there, I guess.
Careful what you wish for
Implying “anonymous” was anything but a foreign government (probably Russia)
why would the Russian govt want to go after the church of Scientology? maybe some Russian hackers adopted the name for a bit, but for the most part its a probably a bunch of random techy people and hackers
