The hacktivist group Anonymous, which is known for taking down corrupt government websites, launching internet based attacks on wrong doers and a consistant member of civil rights movements has hacked a child porn website and released the name of its thousands of users.

The owner of the child porn website advised all of its users to erase the program update and refrain from downloading anymore updates unless given the sign to do so..
