I am making this post as i feel like now is the right time for me to tell my story,

I am no longer scared of those who try to hurt me or threaten me, my real name is Leah Kemp i also go by Kittyhawk/kit online, i was a prominent member of the hacktivist group Siegedsec also known as the gay furry hackers

I am very much aware that i will get alot of hate as a result of this post weather it be for my gender identity or for what i have done, but i simply do not care anymore, if i am going to be remembered for who i am on this planet i might as well be remembered as someone who stood up for transrights and standing up against those who i believe took advantage of our community

In late 2023 i joined siegedsec, my initial reasoning for me joining was that i wanted to fight for transrights and hopefully deliver karma to those who spread hate speech,

I still standby what siegedsec stood for and i standby what siegedsec fought for, and i forever will

some time after joining i was made aware that Vio the leader of siegedsec was an active member of Anonymous Sudan, another hacktivist group that actively spread hate speech and attacked those who have helped the LGBTQ community, Among other targets anonymous sudan also carried out attacks children's hospitals, Initially i viewed the collaboration between anonymous sudan and siegedsec on operation Israel as a weird one off not realising that Vio was a full member of anonymous sudan

For this reason i viewed Vio as a traitor to the exact thing Siegedsec were meant to be fighting for, why say you are fighting for the rights of LGBTQ ppl when you are actively helping contributing to spreading hate I confronted Vio about this issue to which vio told me that they did not care about who or what they fight for as long as they get views and articles made they don't care what they do or who they attack,

After this i felt betrayed and i wasn't going to stand for a hypocrite using the trans community as some way to get fame online

After this situation i contacted my local Police force and i informed them that i was a member of siegedsec and that i wanted to hand over information about Vio,

Less than 24 hours since i contacted my local Police force 2 officers where over my house asking me questions about what was going on, during this time i handed over evidence of who i am and proof of my access to internal siegedsec chats,

After this around 3 weeks go by and they ask to visit me again, during this visit they officially ask me if i would like to become a confidential informant, to which i agreed, in my personal opinion i feel like they should not have offered me this opportunity, the reason being was that i feel that they did not know what they where doing, as they said my case was the first one in my area and they had not dealt with a case like this before, I feel they were not well prepared for the type of info i was going to be giving over

It was a weird feeling helping them out it felt like at a drop of a hat they would do there best to facilitate what i requested it was genuinely a weird experience, its something i want to describe but i genuinely dont know how to describe the feeling

Around 2 weeks after being offered this opportunity i was contacted by my handlers for the first time, the first two meetings where just them getting to know me taking me to coffee shops like starbucks ect, on the third meeting it was the moment i realised how much shit i had gotten myself in as they rented out a conference room in a hotel to speak to me in a closed environment,

To say this meeting went bad is a massive understatement, i will not be discussing what intel was mentioned/handed over in this meeting as i do not want to jeopardise an international investigation, in the future I may expand on what was talked about but as some of the topics partly concerned national security I may never fully disclose what happened,

The TLDR was they wanted me to leave Siegedsec and give over intel on people in my local area, to which I explained how tf am I gonna know those who do cybercrime in my local area, they thought just because I did Cybercrime I know all the local cybercriminals lmao, it felt like they didn't have a grasp of how online communities actually work, i told them it's impossible to know where the person you are speaking to is from, one day you could be talking to someone from north Korea the next Russia and then the US, they didn't believe this, they were very much boomers, i believe they had a weird approach to dealing with my case as they previously only had dealt with only local drug dealers giving over information not people giving over info about international cybercriminals,

During the meeting they told me to leave Siegedsec I refused to leave Siegedsec because of their unrealistic expectations for me, I told them that Siegedsec was in a predicament internally as around this point Vio voiced their intentions of leaving while Kry didn't want to be in the public eye much that left me to pick up the reigns after Vio ultimately left,

They also tried to pry me to give over info on some topics i absolutely refused to talk about, (which made me feel uneasy but tbh wtf was i expecting i was literally speaking to a bunch of feds it's their jobs to pry for info), I was angry at Vio not the whole group or what the group stood for

At the end of this meeting they informed me that they are backing out of helping me and that they would be in touch with more information, a few days go by and they told me to leave siegedsec immediately or i would face potential legal ramifications, they also informed me that there will be a permanent note on my criminal record stating i was a former member of siegedsec, that same day i messaged Vio and Kry in the group chat and we all agreed that the time was right to disband the group, i then left the group chat, i had no involvement/input with any further posts made by siegedsec, it wasn't Mike Howell forcing us to disband, we literally agreed to disband weeks before the hack on the heritage foundation

I would like to clarify i had no involvement with the hack on the heritage foundation, but in my personal opinion they where given a well deserved dosage of karma, FUCK PROJECT 2025 AND FUCK THE HERITAGE FOUNDATION!

Also Mike i'm not going to be getting my ass pounded in federal prison anytime soon, although that does sound pretty hot 🥴😳😵‍💫

They also cited potential reputation damage if they continued helping me, there is a reason why i haven't mentioned the police force by name as they do genuinely have some really helpful officers but i feel they kinda fumbled the bag with this one, but i don't hold any anger or grudges to them it was a weird and unique situation outside the bounds of normal policing practices, and they did their best to adapt

While i will not be publicly posting what i have given over to the police i have provided one reputable journalist a tiny copy to confirm my story

I know a lot of you will be disappointed with my actions and that is fair but i want everyone to understand that while i do feel that i have betrayed Vio, feel that i have not betrayed siegedsec and what we stood for or the LGBTQ community, i will forever fight for the rights we all deserve, but my time of hacktivism is well and truly over

I feel like i need to address this because it has been on my mind recently regarding the suspected raid on Vios house, as of right now i don't believe that Vio has been raided, i am currently on the belief that they have just deleted all their accounts again like they have done multiple times, from what i have been told asking around, no one has been able to confirm if they 100% have been raided everyone is just assuming they have based on them disappearing, Plus i know some of the other former members and they are doing just fine right now

Since leaving siegedsec i have made sure i dont go back to cybercrime, i will be dealy honest it has been hard, day by day seeing new news articles about restrictions imposed on transgender individuals, it fucking sucks not being able to do anything, but i need to protect my self first, and i must stay away from my old ways, it hurts seeing people ask for the return of siegedsec but this is something that will never happen, and i will never “un-retire” from cybercrime

In the months since leaving siegedsec i have managed to meet an amazing group of friends they have been some of the most supportive fuckers i have ever met obviously not naming names but you guys know who you are :3

Since leaving siegedsec i have also gotten my life Back on track, i finally have an amazing support group who work in all fields of not just cybersecurity but a wide range of industries they have been helping me stay out of trouble, within this support group we have grown so close that a few weeks ago i was asked by one of my friends to be the godmother for her child she is expecting in early may

While trying to find work is hard right now, i am not letting it put me down, each day i keep nerding out and learning new things mostly relating to websites right now lol, that's my current tism itch

I will be honest i don't know how to finish this post so ig this is one way to do it,

just remember keep fighting for the rights that you truly deserve don't let others dictate how you live your life, be rebellious and break the status quo, only through determination and strength can we make our voices heard, stay strong and fight for what you believe in

Kittyhawk/kit aka Leah Kemp :3
