Anonymous Hackers Disclose Information Regarding Online CSA Offenders

ByCBG Reading Time: 1 minute

As a postscript to my earlier piece about revenge, Anonymous had targeted anyone they believed to be viewing child abuse images anywhere in the world. That was a month ago, so we looked around for any general fallout which may not have been reported by the media amid the Olympic circus. So far a Belgian politician has resigned and a fan site for Evanescence highlighted, though the alleged drug offences had more substance than the allegations about child abuse imagery in general.

For the moment, Anonymous’s actions do not appear to have derailed the general joined-up worldwide police efforts to track down internet paedophiles. The group’s vigilante actions appear to have raised some awareness of the abuse behind child images. However, if any defence lawyer manages to use the hacking as a fair trial defence then it will have backfired.

The Daily Mail’s initial report is here and Forbes Magazine’s follow-up from just before the Olympics is here.

  • Sharing – Are You Hypervigilant?

    ByMikeM Reading Time: 2 minutes

    Sound familiar? I know, for me, this is absolutely the truth, and even though I’ve done a ton of work to overcome this, and learn how to turn off this hyper vigilance, there are still times when it kicks in, like say during a pandemic.

    I’ve said it before, and I’ll repeat it here. The last 16 months have forced everyone into being hyper vigilant. How do we suddenly turn that off? How exhausted are we from spending that much time constantly on the lookout for danger, and the worst case scenario?

    Personally, that exhaustion goes beyond any words I have to describe it. It reminds me very much of what it was like in my 20s when I only had the life skills I learned as a kid, which were mostly just responses to abuse, not healthy ways to live as an adult.

  • Sharing – The ACEs Questionnaire Is Missing These Types of Trauma

    ByMikeM Reading Time: 3 minutes

    When I think about Monika’s point, and my own look at the numbers, I repeat what I said back then, when looking at one individual, the ACE survey is never the whole story. There are lots of childhood experiences that go unaccounted for, there are individual levels of resilience that are not accounted for, and there are early interventions that are not considered. One traumatic experience equals one traumatic experience in the final number, regardless of whether that experience was immediately followed up with support and maybe even therapy, or if it was ignored and maybe even repeated. There are numerous factors beyond simply answering more than 4 questions yes and assuming you’re an addict, or not answering enough questions yes and assuming you aren’t. It is much more complicated than that. 

    The ACE information is important though because it points us back to that childhood trauma and says “what happened to you?” when treating an individual for depression, or addiction, so that we can include that in our healing. What we want to be careful with is turning it into a blunt instrument when there is still so much not being accounted for within it.
