Kuruc.info is a far-right Hungarian online portal registered in California, United States,[1] affiliated with politician Előd Novák.
[8] As the website's focus broadened, and its traffic kept growing even after the referendum had ended, its editors decided to start Kuruc.info on 01 February 2006,[7] named after the "Kuruc", the rebels against the Habsburg monarchy who fought for Hungarian independence between 1671 and 1711.
[9] Until 2019, Kuruc.info's staff was anonymous,[3] and the website was registered in the name of a private individual, first in Scottsdale, Arizona,[10] then Healdsburg, California.
[1] The website first gained notoriety for its "more SZDSZ, more paedophiles" campaign before the 2006 Hungarian parliamentary election,[11] which was also closely affiliated with the newly formed Jobbik party.
[12] In 2006, Kuruc.info also posted photographs, addresses, and phone numbers of judges and prosecutors who had participated in legal proceedings against anti-government protestors.
