The hacktivist group Anonymous has launched a massive cyber attack against
Islamic State (ISIS) terror group, who were also responsible for the
terrorist attack against the Paris offices of satirical magazine Charlie
Hebdo.
In a video appeared on Youtube, Anonymous group and RedCult announced the
operation #OpISIS and claimed to have carried out cyber attack against
hundreds of Twitter and Facebook accounts used by the Islamic State for its
own propaganda and to recruit new members.
According to the video, Operation #OpISIS is coordinated by “Muslims,
Christians, Jews†alike and a masked individual discusses the aim of the
campaign:
They are “hackers, crackers, Hacktivist, phishers, agents, spies, or just
the guy next door… students, administrators, workers, clerks, unemployed,
rich, poor.†They are also “young, or old, gay or straight… from all
races, countries, religions, and ethnicity. United as one, divided by
zero.†video explains.
A list of more than hundred Twitter and Facebook accounts suspected to
belong to Islamic militants has been released by Anonymous. Twitter has
already suspended more than 1500 ISIS accounts since the group released the
first list in June, 2015 and dozens of militant recruiting websites were
knocked offline using collective DDoS Attack.

Thousands of Twitter accounts associated with terrorist group Islamic State
(ISIS) are still active and spreading jihadist propaganda despite a
campaign by the hacktivist collective Anonymous to take them down.
Anonymous also left a message for them:
We will hunt you, take down your sites, accounts, emails, and expose you…
>From now on, no safe place for you online…
You will be treated like a virus, and we are the cure…
We own the internet…
We are Anonymous; we are Legion; we do not forgive, we do not forget,
Expect us.
However, ISIS supporters are circulating a new social media guide with
instructions for acquiring accounts undetected.
In June, Hacktivist collective Anonymous launched a campaign to take down
social media accounts and websites associated with ISIS terrorists as a
response to the recent Charlie Hebdo attacks under
operation #OpCharlieHebdo.
Anonymous hackers also threatened to target Saudi Arabia and related
nations for funding and supporting ISIS group. In a previous note they
explained, “We are unable to target ISIS because they predominantly fight
on the ground. But we can go after the people or states who fund them.â€
