Anonymous: KKK Members' Identities To Be Revealed Online (TWEETS, VIDEO)

The group unidentified hackers known as Anonymous is planning to reveal identities of members of the Ku Klux Klan through "Operation KKK".

The organization promised to unmask the identities of Klan members in relation to a social disturbance that took place one year ago between the two groups in Ferguson, Mo. They swore to post the names of KKK members online, according to NBC News.

Anonymous announced in a video the launch of the cyber war, saying that they have infiltrated the organization's servers, which led them to the identities of the KKK members.

"All information retrieved will be given to the public. You mess with our families, now, we will mess with yours. Let the cyber war begin. We are Legion. We do not forgive. We do no forget. Ku Klux Klan you should have expected us," Anonymous said in the video.

Anonymous has also released a press release about the issue.

"Ku Klux Klan, we never stopped watching you. We know who you are ... We never said we would only strike once ... After closely observing so many of you for so very long, we feel confident that applying transparency to your organizational cells is the right, just, appropriate and only course of action ... You are more than extremists. You are more than a hate group. You operate much more like terrorists and you should be recognized as such. You are terrorists that hide your identities beneath sheets and infiltrate society on every level," the group said, according to The Huffington Post.

"To the Citizens of the World: We stand with you always, against oppression and injustice," Anonymous said in the now-viral message, CBC reported. "The anons participating in Operation KKK believe that it is a civic responsibility to be conscious and self-critical of our society in order to improve upon the shape of things to come.

"To those that really disagree with us: Sorry for the inconvenience, but not really. We are trying to change our world."
