A breach part of Operation Blitzkrieg, a campaign that targets Nazis

We’ve come across a Reddit post in which users discuss a hack part of Anonymous’ Operation Blitzkrieg, an op aimed at extremists. This time the target was the Aryan Front (aryan-front.com), a discussion forum with over 1,400 users.

As a result of the breach, the hackers have not only posted the classic “you should have expected us” message, but they’ve also deleted all the posts made by the forum’s users.

While many have applauded this particular breach, others have rushed to point out that in reality the phpBB dates from 2002 and the template the site used was around 8 years old.

Hacktivists have attacked a large number of websites that they accused of being run by Nazis. However, as we learned in April, the members of these groups promised to retaliate, and some even offered rewards for the identities of Anonymous hackers.
