soon after publication, the site went down. coincidence ? quite likely ! but also possible that the boys and girls from acpo/co11/ had something to do with it. maybe.
a slightly different version of the story will appear as a feature soon(ish).

What does the existance of IP logging in IMC UK mean to you? Well first off it means that the admins can protect the site from spammers and trolls. More importantly it also means that admins have had tool available to assist in the identification of misinformation posts. All this is good stuff but the admins have up till now refused to admit that they are doing this so the user has been left ignorant of the orchastrated campaigns of misinformation so common in the comments section.
Not only have user been kept in the dark but they've been left with a false sense of security. All admins have access to the IP addresses of people posting on the IMC UK site and that puts users at massive risk. It would be very easy for cops or private spooks to have obtained admin passwords for the UK site from one of the various regional collectives around the country. According to publically archived mailing list post, at one point there were over 100 admins passwords in use around the country. None of the currently exposed undercover cops appear to have been involved in indymedia but who's to say that one or more of the admins are not infact infiltrators.
Nobody posting to indymedia should consider it a secure site. Always to measures to protect your true IP address and other details from being spied on by sysadmins.

more visits from gateway-NNN.energis.gsi.gov.uk
23.01.2011 12:26
And see the comment here:
I run a website and after a comment was posted on SHACwatch linking to a specific page on it, the first visitor was from one of the internet gateways used by people in government: gateway-NNN.energis.gsi.gov.uk. The browser identifier was quite interesting too, "Meridio for Excel 4.4.727"
Maybe someone knows which areas of government use these particular gateways - is it just central government or things like local government, police, hospitals and schools etc. too? And is this Meridio thing specific to a particular area of government?
I think this is fairly conclusive proof that SHACwatch is run from someone inside the state, either with their explicit permission or not.
I believe comments from SHACwatch are moderated before appearing on the site, so it's fairly certain to be the main person behind it.
There were a few other connections from other people soon after - I assume these are SHACwatch groupies. One was a home broadband connection and another from Belgium.

we need a leak from one of the energis gateway admins
23.01.2011 14:41
What we really need is access to one of the admins who work on the Energis government gateways. I'm sure they keep detailed logs so they can check on employees surfing porn at work, etc. They should be able to tell us where these posts are originating from.
The cops may infiltrate us, but there are far more of us than there are them. It's time for us to infiltrate their institutions and start tracking what they are doing.
