Planned Parenthood HACKED!! Anti-abortion activists say they will be ‘EXPOSED to the public’

Apparently there are anti-abortion hackers out there!!

From the Daily Dot:

Late Sunday night, a group of hackers who oppose the healthcare nonprofit’s abortion practices released Planned Parenthood’s website databases as well as names and email addresses of the organization’s employees.

…One of the hackers, who goes by the pseudonym “E,” told the Daily Dot that the cyberattack was politically motivated.

“Trying to mold an atrocious monstrosity into socially acceptable behaviors is repulsive,” said E. “Obviously what [Planned Parenthood] does is a very ominous practice. It’ll be interesting to see what surfaces when [Planned Parenthood] is stripped naked and exposed to the public.”

Planned Parenthood Chief Information Officer Tom Subak told the Daily Dot on Sunday night that the organization was previously unaware of a breach in their systems.

“We think we have really good security, especially on flagging suspicious behavior,” said Subak. “We have not [received any flags].”

The activists put out a weird statement that misuses some common social media terms:

“We’ve noticed quite a lot of attention has been diverted to a supposedly malicious organization known as Planned Parenthood. The actions of this ‘federation’ are not seen as right in the eyes of the public. So here we are, the social justice warriors, seeking to reclaim some sort of lulz for the years and thousands of dollars that Planned Parenthood have wasted and made harvesting your babies.”

Unless they’re using it ironically, “social justice warrior” is a term used by conservatives to mock leftist activists. I also think it’s not useful to release employee names – they could be accused of trying to bring harm to them. But anything else to combat the bloodthirsty baby-killers would be great!* We’ll have to see what happens next with the hacked data.

*this is in no way an admission of support for illegal activities.
