Anonymous delivers on its pledge and targets Donald Trump with its first hack.
The hacker collective Anonymous declared Donald Trump the public enemy number one and vowed to take action against him after he issued his first executive orders. The first is as follows: Every piece of information pertaining to Donald Trump's deportation flights to prisons in El Salvador has been compromised.
The US president made the contentious choice to send Venezuelan migrants to El Salvadorian prisons, even though a judge ruled that the action was unlawful.
The airline GlobalX, which has nothing to do with Elon Musk despite its name, handles 74% of these relocations and gets $65 million a year from the public coffers in exchange.
Although it has since been removed, the message in the picture below was visible on the GlobalX airline's website for a few hours. However, Anonymous was able to obtain crucial, private information in addition to breaking into the web.
The message says: "You and your sycophantic employees are disregarding court orders that run counter to your fascist plans, so Anonymous has chosen to carry out the judge's order. Donnie, you lost once more.
Donald Trump transferred alleged criminal Venezuelan migrants to El Salvadorian prisons under the outdated Alien Enemy Act (AEA) of 1798.
According to the hackers, they have already sent all of GlobalX's flight schedules and passenger lists from January through May to the media. 404Media has verified this data and confirms it is authentic.
Anonymous's hack of GlobalX, an airline that deports migrants to prisons in El Salvador, is the first of many attacks the hacktivist group is planning against the Donald Trump administration.
