Hacktivist group Anonymous is going after Hunter Moore, revealing personal information about the former owner of a “revenge porn” site that posted naked photographs of men and women along with their social media accounts. The pictures were often sent by vengeful exes and were published without the people’s permission.

The site, IsAnyoneUp.com, has since been sold to an anti-bullying charity and taken down. Moore, however, is planning to launch a similar site soon that would also post home addresses along with photos. Said Moore of the new venture: “This time I am doing it right. I am creating something that will question if you ever want to have kids.”

Anonymous says that Moore must be held “accountable for his actions.”

“We will protect anyone who is victimized by abuse of our Internet. We will prevent the stalking, rape and possible murders as byproduct of his sites,” the group said in a statement. “Operation anti-bully. Operation hunt Hunter engaged. We are Anonymous, we are legion, we do not forgive, we do not forget, Hunter Moore, expect us.”

The group has already made good on its promise, releasing his address, the names of his relatives, his Social Security information, passwords and more. Anonymous also took down HunterMoore.tv briefly Wednesday.

BBC News:

The group posted a video about their actions to Vimeo. In it, they showed pictures of Amanda Todd - a girl who committed suicide after topless photographs of her were circulated on the internet.

Prior to her death, 15-year-old Miss Todd created a YouTube video describing how she was bullied.

Mr Moore, who has said his new site has had thousands of submissions, has in the past said he holds no guilt over what he does.

“It’s anonymous to me. I don’t know the people - it’s just a little picture on a screen,” he told the BBC in an interview in April.
