Hactivists from Anonymous took control over 40 websites with child pornography and disclosed the list of 1500 claimed users of the sites on Pastebin.
In their message on Pastebin hackers described the way they found a darknet site named Hidden Wiki, an index of sites concealed from casual internet users and search engines. Anonymous found a section “Hard Candy”, dedicated to child porn, while examining Hidden Wiki. In their statement hackers said: "We then removed all links on the website, within 5 minutes the links were edited back in by an admin. For this reason, we will continue to make the Hidden Wiki unavailable."
Afterwards the hackers spotted a company called Freedom Hosting, which appeared to be “the largest collection of child pornography on the Internet.” Anonymous asked the company representatives to remove the illegal content from their server, but they refused to do so. After the refusal, Anonymous got to action infiltrating the shared hosting server of Freedom Hosting and shutting down the services to all clients. But in several hours the Freedom Hosting administration restored from their backups and renewed services to child pornography clients. After issuing a number of new warnings, to which there was no reaction from Freedom Hosting, Anonymous once again shut down the company services.
Anonymous claim that Freedom Hosting is now "#OpDarknet Enemy Number One" and they will continue taking down the sites, which share child pornography. "This statement is not just aimed at Freedom Hosting, but everyone on the Internet. It does not matter who you are, if we find you to be hosting, promoting, or supporting child pornography, you will become a target", they warn. Anonymous demand that child porn be completely removed from the Internet. They say the companies must stop providing hosting services to any website dealing with child pornography.
