Attila Hildmann puts a bounty on hackers from Anonymous Germany

It’s an unequal duel. On the one hand there is a vegan chef who has become famous through cookbooks and television appearances and has attracted attention with crude conspiracy theories since the coronavirus pandemic*. On the other side is an anonymous hacker collective that campaigns for data protection, against censorship, hatred and violence on the Internet. Anonymous Germany has been fighting vegan chef Attila Hildmann since June 2020.

In terms of content, the hackers justify this decision with Attila Hildmann’s political attitude and his crude theories. In the Attila Hildmann Telegram group, the Berliner shares right-wing extremist theses and spreads symbols that are extremely popular with right-wing groups. Anonymous criticized his “fascistoid demeanor” and Hildmann’s “disgusting rhetoric”.

The dispute escalated when Attila Hildmann declared war on the hackers after a threatening video . This was followed by the bounty . On June 26, Hildmann wrote on Telegram “1000€ cash on hand for anyone who tells me a few things about the people behind Anonymous Germany !” – Hildmann previously spread the rumor that Anonymous Germany would want to hurt his dog with poisoned bait. There is no evidence for this, Anonymous Germany contradicts the allegations in the documentation of their “OP Tinfoil” – operation aluminum foil. Now Hildmann claims that he got the first addresses and names of the hackers.

Anonymous Germany want to stop Attila Hildmann: This is the “OP Tinfoil” – Operation aluminum foil

Liberal hacker collectives like Anonymous Germany are mostly committed to digital-political issues. It is often about data protection , privacy and copyright. Anonymous Germany call themselves a “loose collective, apolitical, sometimes immoral, opponents of physical violence, whether against living beings or objects.” On your Twitter channel, you regularly publish articles on social debates – and Attila Hildmann .

“OP Tinfoil” has been running since the beginning of June, the operation aluminum foil – as an allusion to the aluminum hat of the conspiracy theorists . They want to react to the “right-wing extremist, racist, anti-Semitic ideologies” in many current corona conspiracy theories . Attila Hildmann was the first to be publicly targeted because of his enormous reach and violent rhetoric.

In a first step, Anonymous Germany hacked Hildmann ‘s website and shop. Then they infiltrated the “Democrat Chat”, a closed Telegram group of the Corona cook . The hackers also looked at Hildmann’s business relationships and finances. Eventually the conflict escalated. Hildmann claimed the hackers wanted to poison his dog. The hackers reacted to this with a blatant threatening video – they did not put up with the allegations.

Attila Hildmann threatens the hackers from Anonymous Germany and journalists in Berlin

As early as June 27, Attila Hildmann claimed to have the first names and addresses of the hackers. At the time, however, Hildmann also confused “Anonymous Switzerland” with “Anonymous Germany” – the groups are not organized together. The German group has already criticized the Swiss for spreading conspiracy theories . His escapades now went too far even for the city of Berlin. The recent Attila Hildmann demonstration was banned*

Attila Hildmann also spread the insinuation that Anonymous Germany would work with Antifa . This is how Hildmann justifies his aggressive actions against journalists* at the Berlin trade fair. A video by Hildmann should show how stones were laid out there. These were said to have been used to plan attacks on him. The stones lay there for repair work. This can be seen on the video and was confirmed by Messe Berlin . Nevertheless, Hildmann severely threatened the journalists from the Jewish Forum for Democracy and Against Anti-Semitism.

Attila Hildmann regularly points out the 1,000 euros that he wants to pay as bounty . On July 8, ksta.de reported on the bounty, whereupon Hildmann and Anonymous Germany reacted. The conspiracy cook attacked aggressively and increased the pressure, the hackers remained calm.

Attila Hildmann escalates on Telegram – Anonymous Germany reacts relaxed

Attila Hildmann responded to the article with a long list of allegations against Anonymous Germany . Hildmann hopes to bring the hackers to justice for their illegal attacks on his website. “I’ll get you all in court and your names will be neatly in a list that I’ll publish!” Hildmann said. He also threatened the hackers : “They don’t like ticks in jail, they’ve been in jail themselves as a young offender…you can trust me!” Anonymous Germany, on the other hand, reacted calmly. Share the article on Twitter and jokingly comment on it.

Attila Hildmann’s enemies: Kanye West, Smudo, journalists – the list keeps growing

Hildmann didn’t just make enemies of the hackers from Anonymous Germany . The Corona chef has also attacked US rapper Kanye West , German rapper Smudo and journalists from the Jewish Forum . Hildmann has even been reported for the attack on the journalists.

It is doubtful that Kanye West would be interested in Attila Hildmann’s opinion. The US rapper announced in early July that he wanted to become US President in 2020. Hildmann has criticized the idea that Kanye West is a “Satanist and Illuminati” – Hildmann’s evidence here amounts to a few of the rapper ‘s clothes. He is a Christian, which his music proves again and again. West is also criticized for conservative Christian statements. Donald Trump , on the other hand, is supported by Hildmann.

German rapper Smudo had tried to talk Hildmann into his conscience. He wanted to draw his attention to the dangerous ideology of the Reich citizens . That went wrong, Hildmann violently insulted the rapper living in Hamburg*. Attila Hildmann continues to share corona conspiracy theories , Reichbürger ideology and strong anti-Semitic theses on Telegram . So far, the hackers from Anonymous Germany have not stopped him. Recently there was a wave of scorn and ridicule on Twitter because Attila Hildmann’s Porsche 911 GT3 was towed away*. There was also a lot of laughter on Facebook when Attila Hildmann’s fans fell for a satirical post* and gave the legal activist a shitstorm. * 24hamburg.de is part of the Ippen Digital network.
