Anonymous launched HackerLeaks.tk to dump hack information
Despite the emergence of numerous WikiLeaks clones, Anonymous members 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 of various resources. That is a kind of Wikileaks for hackers.
The launch of HackerLeaks.tk was announced by Commander X, which is considered the leader of the People's Liberation Front subgroup inside Anonymous.
The .tk domain zone belongs to Tokelau - these are three islands under the control of New Zealand. The population of 1416 people. The zone is managed by the Dutch company Dot TK .
At the same time as HackerLeaks, another LocalLeaks.tk website (http://localleaksdisclosures.blogspot.com/) was launched . Apparently, it is supposed to place documents of "local" American interest there, which will be available to Anonymous through the HackerLeaks interface. For example, last Tuesday the personal data of Orlando city officials were published ( copy on pastebin), including their tax returns, house prices, and other information. This American city has been targeted by hackers because local officials allegedly have a particularly unfair treatment of poor people, while they themselves are very rich.

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