Anonymous Doxes Trump, But Leaked Info Underwhelms

Mic.com reports that the "total war" declared by Anonymous against presidential candidate Donald Trump has resulted in a grandly presented leak of some personal information. Items alleged to be personal information about Trump have been posted to PasteBin; these include a social security number purported to be his, contact information for some Trump business associates (including his agent and his lawyer's office), and some information about his family relationships. As Tech Insider points out, though, the YouTube video announcing the dump seems to overstate its significance, in that none of the information leaked is new or earth-shattering -- most of it could be quickly gleaned from a Google search or a visit to Wikipedia.

  1. False Flag Operation? by Freshly+Exhumed · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I've said it before and I'll say it again, this has all the hallmarks of an amateurish false flag operation against Anonymous. The track record of the "real" Anonymous shows a level and depth of skill that does not correlate with this lowball drivel.

    I deny that I have not avoided attaining the opposite of that which I do not want.

    Anyone can be Anonymous. It's not possible to have a false flag.

    If it seems like goobers did this, then probably goobers did this. And some past Anonymous operations have also been seemingly done by goobers.

    Hillary can beat Drumpf without working too hard. Sanders can beat Drumpf without even needing to open his mouth. Frankly the democrats could run a ficus tree and almost certainly defeat Drumpf.
     

    That's what we said about George W., and look what happened. Agreed, it took some ballot stuffing to make it official, but it was not the landslide for Gore everyone predicted. People voted for that dumb fuck. They will vote for Trump, in droves.
