Site accused of leaking personal information
Kiwi Farms is a website that hosts user-generated content and discussion forums. It has been accused of doxing, cyberbullying, and harassment. Kiwi Farms has been blocked from various social media websites and domain providers.
Since 26th August 2022, however, Kiwi Farms has not been online and is showing a note from its administrators which says why the site is offline and how Kiwi Farms has been hit by DDoS (distributed denial of service) and other types of cyber attacks.
Before the service was disrupted, according to the Kiwi Farm forum, it was targeted by a “DDoS attack” and other forms of network interruption attacks.
The forum’s administrators think that it was due to these cyberattacks and to safeguard other users, the internet service provider was compelled to ban their site.
Why is Kiwi Farms a target?
The website is infamous for doxing- or leaking personal information of users it considers “incels” (involuntary celibates), social justice warriors, feminists, and other users.
It is believed that Kiwi Farms intently harass and humiliate people. A Twitch streamer and transgender activist Clara Sorrenti from Canada was arrested and swatted in London, Ontario, on 5th August.
