Anonymous launched HackerLeaks.tk to dump hacking information
Despite the emergence of numerous clones of WikiLeaks, the participants of Anonymous decided to launch their own. Unlike the others, HackerLeaks.tk (http://hackerleaks2011.blogspot.com/) specializes in publishing databases, exploits and security holes, as well as hacking facts from various resources. That is a kind of Wikileaks for hackers.
The launch of HackerLeaks.tk was announced by Commander X, who is considered the leader of the People's Liberation Front subgroup inside Anonymous.
The domain zone .tk belongs to Tokelau - these are the three islands under the administration of New Zealand. The population is 1416 people. The zone is managed by the Dutch company Dot TK .

Another site, LocalLeaks.tk, was launched simultaneously with HackerLeaks (http://localleaksdisclosures.blogspot.com/). Apparently, it is supposed to place there documents of “local” American interest, which will be available to Anonymous via the HackerLeaks interface. For example, last Tuesday, personal data of Orlando city officials was published ( pastebin copy ), including their tax returns, the cost of houses and other information. This American city came under the gun of hackers, because local officials allegedly have a particularly unfair attitude towards poor people, while they themselves are very rich.

The point of running your own HackerLeaks resource is that it will be better to guarantee the anonymity of hackers / whistleblowers. While Wikileaks usually checks the accuracy of published data and links to the source of information, a higher level of anonymity is assumed. HackerLeaks analysts promise to carefully find and remove any traces that could indicate the source before publishing the documents.
In addition, if Anonymous now has its own website, they can leave the unhappy pastebin , which was originally created as a service for programmers, to exchange code fragments.
