For nine years, Hidden Wiki has been her springboard choiceof Deep Web browsing, as it collected websites hosted behind anonymizing technology of Tor.
Many of these sites hosted child pornography photos and videos, which had sparked quite a debate among those who frequent the Deep Web. On Sunday, a hacker with the nickname Intangir took matters into his own hands, and hacked the Hidden Wiki servers. At this moment the webσελίδα is offline, in retaliation for the child pornography pages it hosted.
Intangir calls himself the self-appointed "judge, jury and executioner for all matters relating to Onionland." onionland uses it as all links on the TOR anonymous network end in .onion like .com and .net and .gr. The hacker is better known as Doxbin and is the owner of Doxbin, a hidden serviceof Tor to publish a person's personal information, such as social security numbers, home addresses, phone numbers and more, DailyDot reports.
The fall of the Hidden Wiki marks the biggest blow to child pornography trafficked through Deep Web since August of 2013 when the FBI captured Freedom Hosting and arrested its owner, Eric Eoin Marques, who was named "the biggest trafficker in child pornography on the planet."
The hack was carried out with the help of groups such as @LOIC_Squad (LOIC is a simple DDoS tool). Intangir reports that it has access to the entire database of the site, along with its user credentials and server IP addresses. The full database will be released in the coming days as promised.
