The hacker group known as Anonymous has taken over the Twitter account of the Ku Klux Klan as part of it's Operation KKK (#OpKKK). The Twitter account takeover comes after the KKK released a statement threatening protesters in Ferguson, MO.
The @KuKluxKlanUSA Twitter account mocked the hacking group after receiving threats of a hack from Anonymous. A few of the KKK's Twitter followers joined in saying "Anonymous is nothing, but a bunch of wannabe's." The hacking group took over the KKK's Twitter account two hours later.
Anonymous has yet to delete the account, but promises to release a statement.
Below is the tweet where the KKK taunted Anonymous followed by the tweet where Anonymous took over the KKK's account.
