Two websites belonging to the controversial Second World War historian David Irving have been targeted by anti-fascist protesters (i.e. fascists), who also released the names and contact details of his supporters via wikileaks:

“We have released private email communications, phone numbers and addresses of Irving as well as destroy all files, backups, emails, and databases on his website irvingbooks.com and fpp.co.uk. We also released personal information on people who have attended the speaking tour, made book purchases, or online donations as a warning to those who would support people like David Irving.
We did this to expose this Nazi-sympathizer for who he is and to shut down/disrupt any possibility of Irving rearing his fascist head in public during his tour. To David Irving and all aspiring white-power, anti-immigrant, queer-bashing, racist pigs – give it up! We will fight you on the streets and on the internet until you are swept into the dustbin of history.”
Irving, who’s seen by many as an anti-Semitic, Holocaust denying, Nazi sympathiser, spent most of 2006 in an Austrian gaol after receiving a conviction for glorifying and identifying with Nazism. Together with leaking the passwords for his email and web server accounts, the anti-fascist cyber attackers also added offensive content to his websites. Hmmm. And they’ve achieved what exactly? Other than giving him a load of free publicity, that is . . . .
