Update: We’re received an email stating:
“Dear CopBlock, this is a member of ZcompanyHackingCrew, i am a huge fan of your guys work, and i happened to be able to connect shadow008, as he is in a crew that we work with from time to time, he claims that its not him that sent you that message, i will provide chat logs below, but he bears no responsibility for it, however there is a group called shadowsec, its hit or miss if there real, that you could be confusing him with…”
It appears this was a troll trying to use fear to get us to stop producing Police content. 
The block quoted text below was sent to CopBlock.org via the submission tab and I’ve added my thoughts as well (below the block quotes).
It would seem Cop Block has been showing a lot of support to the cyber terrorist group of Anonymous. We, of the group Shadow, are fully engaged to fighting fire with fire to Anonymous and anyone who supports their criminal hacking. Since someone beat us to it with attacking your servers, we have an alternative way to make you change your support of them. Maybe a taste of what victims of Anonymous have gone through with releasing personal info and “call floods” to your numbers. Maybe release yoy or your family members address? This has been a long time coming and you deserve a taste of it. We enjoy a challenge so it was decided to warn you in advancw. Prepare youselves…..the war has started. We are Shadow: even legions have a larger Shadow watching

First, “CopBlock” can’t support anyone because, like Anonymous, CopBlock is everyone and no one. Yet, no body – not even myself – can speak for CopBlock.org as a whole. The statement that “CopBlock.org supports Anonymous” is false, though I personally do support certain aspects of Anonymous. To be more exact, I support certain individuals – and/or several of individuals working together – who help hold those doing wrong accountable. I agree that some folks who may or may not be associated with Anon do things I disagree with, but I don’t support them.
As for your threats to DoX me, or any CopBlock.org contributor, go ahead. What do you want to know? That I live in Keene, NH and anyone who visits the Shire Society Forum could find out where? Or post dirty emails that I’ve sent (or had sent to me)? Tell everyone that my legal name is Adam Mueller, I’m a felon due to the war on drugs (neither of those are a secretes)? Or that when I was young I racked up some heavy credit card debt that I’ve yet to pay off? What are you going to post that anyone would care to read?
Sounds like a waste of your time and skills. Remember, while you’re digging up the goods on me, there are still governments out there taking your freedom away. There are still people out there trying to censor information. There are people out there who claim they have a right to a certain percentage of what you make because of where you were born, or because some rules were made that you never agreed to. There are people out there who want to control every aspect of your life. Know that while you attack the good people, you help the bad.
Do what you will. . . I’m not nearly smart enough to stop you.
I don’t believe for a second that this group is from Pakistan. It doesn’t make any sense, Anonymous and CopBlock are against conflict with Pakistan… some fans of these groups are also supporters of Ron Paul, who has a non-interventionist policy toward the middle east… So it makes NO SENSE for Pakistanis to be anti-anon or anti-copblock.
In fact, I think it would be quite embarassing for these people to have Anonymous to reveal that a group of U.S. Law Enforcement officers are posing as Pakistani hackers.
I look forward to Anonymous exposing them. Let’s see whose families are in trouble when someone loses a job.
Wait…the cops are now hacking copblock.org because they think copblock supports a group run by the…cops?
God damn, they really are the dumbest animals on the farm.
Looks like these guys have a lil beef with anonymous but had to take on someone less likely to ruin them. If it’s a state astro turf, they fake being 14 year olds strung out on COD and Mountain Dew: Banana Sunset really well.
Ouch. Shit talking and no action is FTL. Get the job done, brag about your skills afterward, skiddies.
These “Shadow” kids are amateurs! REAL hackers don’t announce themselves before an attack! REAL hackers don’t need to make threats because they don’t want any extra attention! Why allow your “victim” time to beef up security, REAL hackers want to be in and out unnoticed! Sounds to me like some kids trying to get attention, losers!
I take that back, you have to actually exist to even be accused of being a skiddie. Troll fail. :(
feel the power of pakistan!!! lol truly frightening, i hope they (he) doesn’t read this and HAX MY INTERNETZ!!
if you want to fight Anon, why don’t you fight Anon directly? hmmm.. maybe because your windows ’97 operating system doesn’t have those capabilities?
how do you say “eat a dick” in urdu?
LOL. Wait, let me see if I get the point here – You despise and mistrust anybody who would use cyber-terrorism to force a point – and you are willing to use cyber-terrorism to prove it? And the best part, you aren’t even threatening the hackers, but a third party whose worst transgression would seem to be in loosely following the activities of this group.
Really?
Do you know that the only thing you are accomplishing with your, um, let’s just say “gramatically challenged” statement is the validation of everything that this site and others like it stand for?
To me, the whole point of things like this is to protect our constitutional rights, as well as attempt to make certain that ALL citizens are held accountable for violations of others rights. Not just the non-law enforcement type.
So if it’s wrong for Anonymous to hack, wouldn’t it also be wrong for you to engage in the same activity? Or is it that because somebody else is already doing it, then it’s ok for you? Wait, let me guess, is it because you’re on the side of “right”?
It’s true – Sometimes the best way to prove a point is to just shut up and let the other side speak.
@chase your words are racist nonsense which have nothing to do with this post.
@copblock i hope you will remove chase’s comments asap they do you no favours.
Hey ACAB!!! ایک قسم کھانا
What these shadow people seem to forget is that anonymous is exposing governments, not private citizens. When you become government employees, you are subject to public scrutiny, yet government employees are threatening people in order to deny public scrutiny. They are subject to be acountable, they don’t have the authority to hide info yet they do. Shadow thinks that cop block are public servants and deserve such scrutiny as public servants, but shadow is nothing more than a terrorist organization who licks the boots of their government masters.
Furthermore, it is not the role of governments to crack down on citizens, but rather it is the role of citizens to crack down on their governments at all levels.
I’m with Freedom Fighter. It is time we stop letting the servants be our masters. Good luck with the hacker… maybe it’ll piss off ANON enough to merit some blowback in his direction… I don’t think he knows what sort of fire he’s playing with.
I farted.
HA! DDoS that!
I can’t even type, I’m laughing so hard.
tatooz88: unfortunately (for me) i am mono-lingual, i can only read, write, or speak english. would you be so kind as to translate your message for me? thanks
I will be taking over penetration testing of the site. To the script kiddies interested in attacking the site: google “Th3_R@v3n”. Now google “HRG” or “Hackerlounge Research Group”. Continue by searching “TGS-Security”.
I have ten pages of google, you have one post threatening to attack copblock. You really want to fuck with me? Let’s do it.
@Th3_R@v3n HRG, you were badass on Heroes! Godspeed holmes.
@acab: there is no racism in my post. you’re just too sensitive buddy. its cute that you think the admins are going to remove my post though, just because you say RACIST!!!!
HEllO Admin of this site,
Im the Real Shadow008,some kids gave you a fake threat for fun. Please delete this post. The Image which you used is an image of my deface. How ever,i dont even know this site ,lolz,i just got a msg from a friend telling me about this and asking did I threat your site. But i Haven’t

Worst. Threat. Ever.
Never Sleep, Never Eat, Never Die?
So, i’ll be a fucking immortal that never has to waste time on useless bodily necessities? That sounds fucking AWESOME. All I have to do is make fun of you for being morons? This is lile the best day EVER.
Courtesy of your local police force, nothing more. Should they strike we are ready to respond in kind. I was attacked once already for writing to the chief of police in Keene and Weare and I am waiting. Gentleman, start your engines, please.
@ADAM “Or that when I was young I racked up some heavy credit card debt that I’ve yet to pay off?”
Pay your bill.
@WG_Eagel, Shut the fuck up, Shadow008 verbally told me he as A) never heard of this site B) didn’t threaten it … They are confusing him with what appears to be shadowsec… They(copblock) went to google and typed in “shadow hacker” and PCA and Shadow008 joint photo came up, and they ran with it…. Shadow008 Claims no responsibility for this threat, we both posted on copblocks fb page informing them of this, but i guess they dont check it. Here is what i posted on there fb::
“Dear CopBlock, this is a member of ZcompanyHackingCrew, i am a huge fan of your guys work, and i happened to be able to connect shadow008, as he is in a crew that we work with from time to time, he claims that its not him that sent you that message, i will provide chat logs below, but he bears no responsibility for it, however there is a group called shadowsec, its hit or miss if there real, that you could be confusing him with… ”

no bro,i dont even know that site,lol
Zhc Point – I seen your messages and appreciate your support, as well as you taking the time to ask Shadow008 if this were them.
I figured this could have been false but posted it for two reasons. One, if they actually attacked us and two, to show trolls that their silly emails will be published. Though we do get some serious hate mail as well, at times I publish that too, especially the death treats by cops.
Anyways, I’ll add an update and love the hacker community, wish I had those skills.

It’s probably some frustrated douche-knot pig that works in a cyber crime division and has a liitle comp sci under his belt. His attempt to sound ominous was painfully effete, indicating average language skills and intelligence. I won’t even get into the ill-conceived nature of his threat or its poorly rationalized causes.
@Ademo, no problem bro, figured its the least i could do, i personally ran some common exploits, vulnerabilities, wordpress exploits and a few methods of inclusion on your site, didn’t come up with anything huge, however, i did find two possible vulnerabilities, one im not gonna name for security reasons and the second is a blind sql injection vector, but personally I feel you are vulnerable in that one area i mentioned above and about the blind SQL~i, i believe is not a big threat… Both, can easily be patched though…. Anyways, i see this as being a troll, however, there is a group that is called shadowsec(like a said), they are members of a site called hackfourms(dot)net… But i personally dont believe there much of a threat…. Anyways, feel free to contact me via email(posted above in the mail section), i would be more then happy walking you though patching the SQLi vulnerability And explaining and helping patch the undisclosed venerability mentioned….. Best Regards, -Zhc Point
For the record, when I said “you have to exist to be a skiddie” I was attempting to point out the fact that “shadow group” doesn’t fucking exist. If it had been Shadow008, he’d have just said so. I’ve never heard of “shadowsec” either, but I don’t claim to be the most knowledgeable person. It is hilarious that shadow008 actually heard about this and dropped in though.
So, with all that resolved, troll harder next time, little piggy!
anonymous, shadowsec, same branch of the government….
