The hacker group Anonymous has released the personal information of around 1000 alleged Ku Klux Klan members on the internet.

According to the BBC, this action was prompted by the KKK’s threats to use deadly force against groups protesting the murder of a black teenager in Missouri.

No hacking was actually involved when releasing the details, however, as all the information that Anonymous released came from the profiles of people who had joined or liked KKK-related groups on Google+ and Facebook.
