Anon: is this the really real [home address] this time? or a former one like last time? that would be disappointing.
Vince: No idea. But the phone number is good…
Vince: Sending her complementary pizza and free samples
Mobile game developer and
#Gamergate bete noire Brianna Wu has received dozens of phone calls in the past 24 hours after her cell phone number was posted on Baphomet, and re-posted on Reddit, 2chan, and Twitter. A Baphomet moderator calling himself Vince verified Wu's number twice, posting her voicemail greeting and whois information.
Some callers threatened to kill her, and her family. Many of them were brazen enough to do so with their own cell phones, leaving their numbers in Wu's caller ID.
Additionally, Wu reported about $500 worth of fraudulent purchases have been made on her credit card via Steam. That same day, Randi Harper of the OAPI noted a spurious charge of $60 made by the Steam App on a non-linked account of hers.
Meanwhile, on the Baphomet Tor channel, this guy is selling Credit Card information.
The Baphomet thread at press time.
This domestic terrorism is ongoing and likely to continue if nothing changes. As I'm writing this, channers in Baphomet are talking about the texts and calls they're placing to Wu. Some of them are trying to cobble together an effort to send a SWAT team to her residence.
They have a candidate in mind to place the call, an individual who's been given credit for the Randi Harper swat attack a few months ago. I could name the account of this individual, or tell you his cartoon villain screen name, but he's gone through thirty accounts in ten years; evading bans so that he can continue to place SWAT calls, post cartoon child porn, and tweet racist insults. I don't think forcing him to change his name again will do much of anything.
He apparently has nothing to fear from law enforcement of any variety. In the Swat anon's own words:
"There's a point where the feds realize that tracing back some goat on the internet isn't worth wasting resources.
I'm sure if they did find me my government wouldn't care enough to turn me over either way."
