Quintez Brown has pleaded not guilty to charges filed against him in the attempted shooting of Louisville mayoral candidate Craig Greenberg. His bail has been set at $100,000.

Police say the shooting took place about 10:15 a.m. Monday, when a suspect entered Greenberg's campaign office in Butchertown and began shooting at him.

None of the five people in the office were injured, but a bullet grazed Greenberg's shirt.

This story will be updated as more information becomes available.

>Anonymous Hacker Aubrey Cottle Reveals Ultimate Goal: Stop QAnon

The ultimate goal as of the moment is to stop the QAnon

Cottle then detailed that to do this, it was necessary to fight against the QAnon and that it was not what people believed to be. According to Anonymous, the alleged group even had a hand in the spread of child pornography as covered by Mother Jones.

Facebook has reportedly been involved in the removal of this movement by being able to remove about 1,500 different pages, groups, as well as profiles all associated with the group. Facebook has been public about banning QAnon and now, Anonymous has joined in the hunt to stop them.

When asked what the future of Anonymous is by specifically questioning what the next generation of hackers are looking to fight for, Cottle stated that it was Privacy rights, monolithic megacorporations that own everything about people and their lives, and big data.

Epik is a refuge for the deplatformed far right. Here's why its CEO insists on doing it

In October of 2018, a man walked into the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh and opened fire, killing 11 people – the worst anti-Semitic attack in US history. The suspected shooter had been a serial poster of genocidal rantings about Jews on a social platform called Gab. 

Nearly five months later, another gunman strode into a mosque in Christchurch, New Zealand, and began shooting. When he was done, 51 people in two mosques were dead – the country's worst mass shooting in modern history. The 28-year-old live-streamed the rampage on Facebook and posted a manifesto online about "white genocide."  

In both cases, mainstream tech companies scrambled to remove the content from the internet; Gab a Twitter-like platform long known for its extremist content was yanked offline entirely.  

And in both cases, a man named Rob Monster an outspoken born-again Christian and the CEO of a tech company called Epik made pointed restorations, republishing much of the New Zealand content and putting Gab back online. All in the name, he said, of free speech.

After reposting the Christchurch shooter's manifesto online, Monster publicly weighed in on the believability of the livestream video, speculating the slaughter may have been faked.   

"Shell casings simply vanish into thin air," he said in a social media post soon after the massacre. "It looks like a low budget CGI."

Trump’s TRUTH Social Platform Hacked Ahead of Beta Launch

October 24, 2021

The announcement of former President Trump’s social media app TRUTH Social attracted instant media attention. Just hours later, the platform got hacked.

The full rollout of the application isn’t expected till the first quarter of 2022, but a beta launch is gearing up for invitees in Nov. Hackers accessed the private beta version of the platform and made fake accounts for Trump, former Vice President Mike Pence, and former presidential strategist Steve Bannon. They used these accounts to post images of defecating pigs and write expletive-filled rants against Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey, among other things.

The hackers didn’t keep their operation a secret. They told the New York Times they were acting in accordance with their “online war against hate.” Notorious hacker Aubrey Cottle, an affiliate of the group Anonymous said, “we had a fun time trolling it to high heaven.” TRUTH Social later barred new accounts and was pulled offline.

In a press release, the platform was advertised as one that will give a voice to all users. The terms of service used stricter language, stating that users who “disparage, tarnish, or otherwise harm, in our opinion, us and/or the Site” will be penalized. Also listed in the terms of service is a protection preventing the platform from bearing responsibility for user posts. The term invokes Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, contrasting Trump’s stance on the code when he was in office. He previously criticized it as, “dangerous and unfair,” and called for its complete termination.

TRUTH Social is the first creation of the Trump Media and Technology Group (TMTG). TMTG estimates the value of the company will rise to $875 million with a cumulative value of up to $1.7 billion. It was inspired by events at the start of the year, when Trump’s connection to the Capitol riots resulted in him being banned from major social media networks like Twitter and Facebook. In a statement, Trump said the app will “stand up to the tyranny of Big Tech.” He also called attention to the fact that extremist groups like the Taliban, though censored, haven’t been removed from Twitter like he was.

Hackers lay claim to Donald Trump’s social app before its launch.

Hackers tied to the group Anonymous defaced a private version of the former president’s app, Truth Social, posting images of defecating pigs and explicative-laced rants.

Oct. 21, 2021

Former President Donald J. Trump declared on Wednesday evening that he would start a “media powerhouse.” Its flagship operation would be Truth Social, a Twitter-like social network that would “stand up to the tyranny of Big Tech,” he said in a statement.

Within two hours, hackers had gained access to a private version of the social network, creating fake accounts for Mr. Trump; the far-right personality Stephen K. Bannon; Ron Watkins, the QAnon conspiracy theorist; and Twitter’s chief executive, Jack Dorsey, who barred Mr. Trump from Twitter after his supporters stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6.

Using a false “donaldjtrump” account, hackers posted images of defecating pigs, wrote expletive-laced rants aimed at Mr. Dorsey and inquired about the whereabouts of the former first lady Melania Trump. Images of the hackers’ handiwork were circulated on other social media platforms.

In interviews on Thursday, the hackers, who are affiliated with Anonymous, the loose hacking collective, said the effort was part of their “online war against hate.”

After a several-year hiatus, Anonymous has re-emerged as a digital force against the far right. The collective recently took down a Texas Republican website after the passage of an anti-abortion bill, replacing the site with a Planned Parenthood fund-raiser. And last month, Anonymous was behind a breach of Epik, an internet services company popular with the far right, dumping 220 gigabytes of data, including personal details of its customers.

In exposing the innards of Truth Social ahead of its launch, hackers demonstrated that Mr. Trump’s soon-to-be-released social network had lax safeguards and left open the ability to spoof anyone, including the former president.

Mr. Trump had revealed the social network in an online presentation on Wednesday as part of Trump Media and Technology Group, which aims to take on big social media platforms.

A representative for the Trump media company did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

“We had a fun time trolling it to high heaven,” Aubrey Cottle, a hacker affiliated with Anonymous who goes by the alias Kirtaner, said in an interview.

A Truth Social app was made available for “preorder” on Apple’s App Store on Wednesday, inviting anyone interested to join a waiting list for its release. The digital crumbs from that post, Mr. Cottle said, were enough for him and other Anonymous hackers to gain access to the prerelease version of the app.

Once inside, Mr. Cottle said, hackers posted memes from spoofed accounts for Mr. Trump, former Vice President Mike Pence and other prominent figures.

The activity forced the Trump Media & Technology Group’s app developers to bar new accounts and eventually shutter the development platform. (The New York Times viewed screenshots backing up hackers’ claims.)

The breach and its aftermath did not stop shares of Mr. Trump’s SPAC company, Digital World Acquisition, from surging as much as 400 percent to $52 per share on Thursday, after Wednesday’s news of the merger that would launch Mr. Trump’s social media platform.

"Do you guys want to do this again tomorrow?" he at one point asked the group of up to 40 people that included hackers, activists, trolls and journalists. "I'll do it again tomorrow."

About 15 minutes into the call, Monster cheerfully called out the presence of an unlikely participant: Aubrey "Kirtaner" Cottle, who describes himself as a founder of Anonymous. In other words – Monster's enemy.

"Kirtaner!" he said, clapping his hands. "What's up, bro?"  

Monster asked Cottle if he performed the hack.   

Cottle denied it, then added, "I would never, ever, ever, ever admit to a federal crime in a space like this."  

A day or two later, Monster donated $444 to the GoFundMe page set up by Cottle, who told CNN he lives off donations. Monster has referenced the number as having biblical connotations; Cottle took the gesture as a message.  

"He's got his eye on me," Cottle told CNN. "He had to go digging to find that GoFundMe."  

Cottle who said he lives modestly in Toronto acknowledged that he took Monster's money and used it for a trip to visit his young child in Philadelphia.  

Monster told CNN he believes Cottle is the culprit. 

 

"A lot of these guys are like shock jocks," he said. "They don't necessarily believe what they're saying. I tried to appeal to his highest self – there's a spark of divinity in everybody."

It is often implied or assumed that Monster himself harbors the views of some of the extremists he enables. It's the reason Cottle condones the hack of Epik.

"During World War II, you f**k up some Nazis, you're heralded as a hero," Cottle told CNN. "How should it be any different these days?"
