    Not gonna dig through their Twitter feed, but I saw someone a couple months ago ask them this exact question on one of their posts, and they wrote a pretty interesting response. They basically said, we’re still here, trying to fuck the system up, but, with all the information we’ve provided and ported out there to the world, y’all haven’t done dick with it. Laws haven’t been passed, politicians haven’t been ousted, corporations are still abusing the systems. So they were basically saying, what good is them leaking and hacking if the public doesn’t take a more activist approach towards change themselves and hold the people they expose accountable.

      Well if I knew how to take down sites and child porn site I totally would. Just don’t know what to study and probably don’t want to be another computer cracker using programs found online.

        If you’re serious, study cyber security to start.

        Then move towards devops.

        Worse case scenario, you’ll end up in a 6-figure job making complaints into the void as you write bash scripts to speed up a pipeline by 0.1 second.

        Best case scenario, you take down a massive criminal ring that sprouts back up like a weed a few days later.
