Notorious 8chan Board Has History Wiped After Federal Judge's Doxing

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Friday February 13, 2015 @05:36PM from the wiping-it-clean dept.

AmiMoJo writes On Monday, imageboard site 8chan's "baphomet" subboard, an Internet destination known for hosting aggressive "doxing" posts, received a major history wipe the day after one of its users posted the personal information of a federal judge in the Silk Road case. A follow-up post by baphomet's "Board Owner" account stated that "HW," a reference to site founder Frederick "hotwheels" Brennan, deleted "the SSN posts" and told the baphomet board founder, previously identified via an associated Twitter handle as Benjamin Biddix, to "lay low." The same day baphomet's "Board Owner" announced a "doxing for hire" service due to "running low on funds."

The Slashdot editors have failed to turn commenters against Gamergate, so they're trying to smear 8chan with these ridiculous hysterical stories. Even people in gamergate didn't pay attention to this retarded story, but Slashdot is using its position to give it more leverage in the hopes of getting the feds to look in.
What would Taco think of all this is what I want to know.
