Hacker group Anonymous begins releasing personal information on Donald Trump

Hacker group Anonymous declared war on Donald Trump this week. On Thursday, they started releasing personal information on the Republican front-runner for president.

The group allegedly has posted Trump’s Social Security number and his phone number on the site Pastebin. The cyber-attack also claims to have published the phone numbers his agent and attorney. They also published the full names of his family members, although most of those names have already been made public.

Anonymous is calling the hacking tactic #OpWhiteRose in a reference to a non-violent resistance group in Nazi Germany. When the hackers announced the operation, they said the purpose was “to unite to fight fascim.”

The group would have to find something really spectacular to do any damage to Trump’s presidential campaign. Attacks on the Republican candidate – including comparisons between Trump’s rhetoric and that of Adolf Hitler – have fallen by the wayside.
