Media have been swarming all over the list of names of donors to the Freedom Convoy ever since the GiveSendGo database was hacked. Donors livelihoods and lives are actually at risk now.
And this guy, Aubrey Cottle, aka Kirtaner, Canadian hacktivist and founding member of Anonymous, is taking credit for all of it:
This is Aubrey Cottle. He hacked GiveSendGo and he doesn't care if anyone knows it. He's live on TikTok bragging about doxing and releasing the info that's currently getting thousands of people fired from their jobs for donating to the Freedom Convoy. pic.twitter.com/HJW7BBRc4z

How is it that he looks exactly like I imagined he would?

Jokes aside, as douche-y an image as Cottle projects, he’s a genuinely scary dude. It’s clear he has absolutely no remorse when it comes to ruining people’s lives and no qualms about doing it again and again and again.
This is what it looks like when someone has lived their entire life consequence-free https://t.co/SoiGWmDbXk

I’ve worked with paranormal groups & spiritualists for years.
This is one of the strongest demonic possessions I’ve ever seen. https://t.co/txJRm70UId— Kathie Owns Trucking Co #AMA “#FluCrew” ツ✿🇺🇸🧡✝️ (@MustangGirl3) February 16, 2022

Good grief. These people are insane. https://t.co/jFCfk7XvPK

Insane, but very good at what they do.
This is what hate looks like. https://t.co/yQ4vxdmBfV

We underestimate how many people with this level of politics-driven insanity, motivated by religious extremism and hatred, are highly skilled at destroying lives online and can hack systems. https://t.co/yQ4vxdmBfV

Unstable people driven by political vengeance and passionate moral justification are capable of hacking financial systems specifically to target and destroy political enemies.

And Cottle seems to be under the impression that he can continue to do this with impunity.
Isn’t that a federal crime if true?

Generally speaking, yes. The thing is that degenerates like Cottle get a pass if the government decides that they might be useful.
Not if the feds paid him to do it.

Cottle is, as he himself puts it, “a famous f*cking cyberterrorist.” He’s very much known to the authorities.
Yet he’s still out there, and he’s lovin’ every minute of it.
The government will not take action against him because he does what they want. Go figure.

Best of luck to whoever’s left in Canada. They’re gonna need it.
Congratulations some media and one Ottawa city councillor for being associated with this deranged and odious character's illegally hacked database. Turning on your own citizens and constituents is now the new look for Canada. How far we've fallen. https://t.co/SGeDcKtVXn
