Be the change… Hacking is less brute force and more phishing. Not that hard and ICE is full of brain dead morons.
Humans are always the weakest point of any opsec
It could be a combination of both, for example heres a basic guide to hacking any government department or agency (which for legal purposes isnt a guide).
- You can very easily brute force your way into those unsecured DOGE email servers they have in everywhere in the US Gov rn (alternatively you can spoof a DOGE email very easily, if so skip to step 3)
- Once you brute force your way into the US Gov you can either take the route of brute forcing your way into the entire network compromising entire systems or you can send emails from the doge servers hacking individuals.
- Once the network is compomised slowly copy classified information and prepare the system to display your mesaage. Then delete the information from the internal system replacing it with your message, leak the information so everyone but them has it.
Never underestimate the skill, finess, and power of Furry Hackers.
I will cosplay my cat and start an OnlyFans if Anon follows through on this one.
I think they hacked an airline connected to them recently
Defacing a website isn’t all that useful tho. It got the name of the airline in the press, but that was about it.
The flight manifests were also released, with passenger info and other flight data confirming the status of some people who had been disappeared. The hacker said they were able to access GlobalX’s AWS buckets to grab and delete data, and they also sent messages to the flight crews directly.

Anonymous (“whoever they are”) did shit the first time through this turd circus. Let’s see them redeem themselves.
Hacking the US gov is easier than ppl think, it’s kinda like the Maginot line. You dont need to attack the governments most protected infrastructure, you only need a weak point to break in. In this case the weak point is the unsecured DOGE email servers that are easy to impersonate and easy to hack.
Hacking the US government is like the Chinese finger traps of hacking. Its easy enough to get in, but probably quite a mess when you go to get out. At least if they catch you anyways
If you’re hacking the US gov im pretty sure that means you’re willing to accept all risks associated to help fight Fascism. Yeah obviously it comes with risks, all forms of resistance does.
I read that ICE and CBP are using that signal app fork that Hegseth et al are using, and that has already been hacked, so it should be easy enough for them to take it from there, I guess.
I thought anonymous was anyone who wants to be. In which case, lots of programmers on Lemmy, get on it!
Careful what you wish for
Implying “anonymous” was anything but a foreign government (probably Russia)
why would the Russian govt want to go after the church of Scientology? maybe some Russian hackers adopted the name for a bit, but for the most part its a probably a bunch of random techy people and hackers
