An Anonymous-affiliated hacker that goes by the name of Antidote (AnonAntidote) has taken credit for defacing the website of the Oak Creek Ranch School (ocrs.com), Arizona.
The breach is part of Operation Liberation, a campaign that aims to protest abuses that take place against teenagers in certain educational institutions.
“You make your money off the naive, the lazy and the misguided parents leading them to believe that you are helping their sons and daughters to be healed, educated and treated,” Antidote said.
“Putting in place point systems to buy necessities as well as privileges and providing punishment and abuse to those who wander stray of them. In reality this doesn’t treat or help them but instead lowers self-esteem. Simply expelling students that you can’t control while keeping the hard earned money given by the parents.”
The hacker also leaked the school’s mailing list, made of over 300 records, which may indicate that he had gained access to the organization’s databases.
Operation Liberation was launched back in August 2011 and has made a lot of victims since.
“For years, teenagers have had to suffer from countless years of torture and brainwashing in so called ‘troubled teen camps.’ These include camps like Cross Creek in Utah, and Paradise Cove in Samoa,” hacktivists said at the time.
“We will not stand for the abuse against these children, we will make sure all of the schools, and the sponsors who started these schools, the WWASP, will suffer consequences for their actions against the civil rights of the youth.”
