Freedom Hosting 2.0, perhaps one of the largest hosting services on the darkweb, was hacked by "Anonymous".

Earlier today a Reddit user running a dark web crawler reported that all websites hosted by Freedom Hosting II had been compromised and were now displaying the following message:

Hello Freedom Hosting II, you have been hacked

We are disappointed… This is an excerpt from your front page ‘We have a zero tolerance policy to child pornography.’ — but what we found while searching through your server is more than 50% child porn…

Moreover you host many scam sites, some of which are evidently run by yourself to cover hosting expenses.

All your files have been copied and your database has been dumped. (74GB of files and 2.3GB of database)

We are selling all data (excluding cp) for 0.1 BTC. Send 0.1 BTC to 14iCDyeCSp12AmhVfJGxtrzXDabFop4QtU and send your transaction id to fhosting@tt3j2x4k5ycaa5zt.onion or fhosting@danwin1210.me and We’ll get back to you with a full dump.

Up to January 31st you were hosting 10613 sites. Private keys are included in the dump. Show full list

We are Anonymous. We do not forgive. We do not forget. You should have expected us.

Verification
Privacy researcher Sarah Jamie Lewis used a customised ‘onion scan’ tool in October last year and found that Freedom Hosting II represented 15-20% of active onion sites detected based on matching SSH fingerprints.

The hack appears to be genuine. Not only are the tested hosted sites compromised, the main customer portal is already compromised, as this too is displaying the same message. fhostingesps6bly.onion was one of the primary onion addresses of Freedom Hosting II, the un-hacked version can be seen via this archived capture.

Brand legacy and follow up:
Freedom Hosting II is the brand successor to the original Freedom Hosting, formally run by Irishman Eoin Marques, similarly notorious for hosting child pornography and fraud sites.

The original Freedom Hosting was taken down by the FBI in conjunction with a JavaScript 0-day attack on its users back in 2013. It is reasonable to except that law enforcement will be highly interested in the hacked data as it must intersect with operations against the worst of the worst sites under active investigations. In many cases this will mean bringing investigations to a premature close with some suspects evading justice, but in other cases providing a wealth of data on serious criminal operations.

Facebook has been analyzing the emotions of teenagers and acknowledges it passed along the information to an advertiser in violation of its policies, according to published reports.
The Australian news website said it has seen internal research documents that show how people's posts on Facebook classify them as feeling "stressed," "anxious," "nervous" or other negative emotions. The report says that advertisers could use this information to target teens "when they are potentially more vulnerable," something that Facebook denies.
The report claims the leaked information shows how Facebook "has been honing the covert tools it uses to gain useful psychological insights on young Australian and New Zealanders in high school and tertiary education."

Facebook said on Wednesday that it would add 3,000 people to the team that monitors Facebook Live and other aspects of the social media network for inappropriate, offensive or illegal content.

The move comes after Facebook Live, the company’s popular video-streaming service, has been used recently as a platform to broadcast a series of horrible acts to viewers, including a man boasting about his apparently random killing of a Cleveland man and the murder of an infant in Thailand.

The company has also been criticized for doing a poor job weeding out content that violates its rules, including the sharing of nude photographs of female Marines without their consent and illegal gun sales.

In a Facebook post, Mark Zuckerberg, the company’s chief executive, said the recent episodes were “heartbreaking” and said the new monitors would supplement the 4,500 people it already has on its community operations team.

Anti-Defamation League and Twitter Promise to Silence All Political Dissidents by December 18th

Twitter is cracking down on hate speech and not just by looking at its own site.

In what amounts to a major shift in Twitter policy, the company announced on Friday that it will be monitoring user’s behavior “on and off the platform” and will suspend a user’s account if they affiliate with violent organizations, according to an update to Twitter’s Help Center on Friday.

“You also may not affiliate with organizations that — whether by their own statements or activity both on and off the platform — use or promote violence against civilians to further their causes,” the update reads.

Twitter isn’t taking action immediately. Rather, it’s given users until December 18, 2017 when it will then begin enforcing the rule. The month-long wait is due to regulations in the European Union that require companies to inform users of a new policy change 30 days prior to enforcement.

The Dec. 18 deadline also applies to using “hateful images or symbols” in profile images or profile headers. Twitter will also monitor for hate speech in usernames, display names, and profile bios.

This new rule closes a loophole that Twitter’s critics had long pointed out: That known white supremacists and others affiliated with hate groups could still use the platform to send a sanitized version of their message and use their followers to bolster their overall profile.
