| Hackers steal English Defence League membership list |
| 2010-12-20 |
| A controversial anti-Islamist group has told its members to be "vigilant" after their details leaked online. Hundreds of names and addresses linked to the English Defence League have been circulated on the web after hackers broke in to one of the organisation's websites. In a warning to members, the group said it feared the potential for reprisals. Those affected should "remain extra vigilant where their home and personal safety is concerned," it said. The security breach began last weekend, when a clothing website linked to the organisation was accessed by hackers. The attackers, who claimed to be part of a group called the "Mujahideen Hacking Unit", obtained lists of those who had recently bought items from the site or donated money to the group. The EDL has risen to prominence in the last year by staging a number of protests against what it calls the "Islamification" of Britain. While it says it is not racist or anti-Muslim, opponents such as United Against Fascism say the group's agenda is blatantly Islamophobic. |
