Three members of a Chicago white nationalist group have been identified thanks to the work of anonymous antifascist infiltrators.
Using license plates from their vehicles and personal details shared in a private vetting chat,
an activist who gained access to their inner circle identified the men behind the group as James Hammans (37), Džiugas Dirzys (22), and Arkadiusz Kowalczyk (38).
Unraveled has verified the information collected and confirmed the identities of the three …

Exposed: White nationalist group responsible for hate spree across Chicagoland
Members of the Windy City Active Club include a USPS worker, a recent finance grad from DePaul, and a Polish American tied to other hate groups.

This young producer is a friend of mine, and has finally been persuaded to release his very good materials. :) [albeit in as low-key, anonymous as possible a way, it seems. 😄]
I find it really hallucinogenic and special - in a super fragmented, "implied music"-but-still-groove-based kind of way.

Lattice-Based Dynamic $k$-times Anonymous Authentication
With the development of Internet, privacy has become a close concern of users. Anonymous authentication plays an important role in privacy-preserving systems. $k$-times anonymous authentication ($k$-TAA) scheme allows members of a group to be authenticated anonymously by application providers up to $k$ times. Considering quantum computing attacks, lattice-based $k$-TAA was introduced. However, existing schemes do not support dynamically granting and revoking users. In this paper, we construct t…

Influence of the majority group on individual judgments in online spontaneous conversations
This study investigates how the majority group influences individual judgment formation and expression in anonymous, spontaneous online conversations. Drawing on theories of social conformity and anti-conformity, we analyze everyday dilemmas discussed on social media. First, using digital traces to operationalize judgments, we measure the conversations' disagreement and apply Bayesian regression to capture shifts of judgments formation before and after the group's exposure. Then we analyze chan…

Five Minutes of DDoS Brings down Tor: DDoS Attacks on the Tor Directory Protocol and Mitigations
The Tor network offers network anonymity to its users by routing their traffic through a sequence of relays. A group of nine directory authorities maintains information about all available relay nodes using a distributed directory protocol. We observe that the current protocol makes a steep synchrony assumption, which makes it vulnerable to natural as well as adversarial non-synchronous communication scenarios over the Internet. In this paper, we show that it is possible to cause a failure in t…
