Anonymous Hackers: ISIS Planning Attacks in USA, Worldwide on Sunday

They do not believe the hacker group can make a big difference especially since the tech-savvy militants can easily set up new accounts.

Global Business Times reports that the hacktivist group Anonymous has waged cyber war and uncovered details about several targets the Islamic State (ISIS) plans to attack on Sunday, November 22.

Releasing a statement via the AnonNewsDE Facebook page the leaderless, anarchic hacking collective said the websites had been taken down in revenge for unkind articles posted about them in the German press over the past few days. I do not recommend using the term Islamic State because it blurs the lines between Islam, Muslims and Islamists. At that timem the group had issued a step-by-step guide aimed ay taking down pro-ISIS Twitter accounts.

Anonymous group OpParisIntel revealed the details in a statement that it had collected information about the imminent attacks by IS a little more than a week after a series of co-ordinated attacks that left 130 dead and hundreds injured in Paris.

Hello, citizens of the world, we are Anonymous.

It has been a year since Anonymous has been making efforts to bring down the ISIS and while we are all witness to the timely videos that show up on the hacktivist group’s YouTube channel, it somehow seems like a wasted effort since minor attacks will not do much damage. (Twitter staffs employees fluent in Arabic to personally review those accounts before suspending their service, the spokesperson said.) numerous alleged ISIS accounts communicate in Arabic, but the messages are often split into multiple tweets due to Twitter’s 140-character limit.

It has been well documented by various governments, including the United States, that jihadists were using social media to recruit new fighters.

The spokesman also contends that Anonymous aren’t done just yet. “ISIS, we will hunt you and take down your sites, accounts, emails and expose you”. From now on, no safe place for you online. “You should know that we will find you and we will not let you go.”.

“We are in no way affiliated with Anonymous”, the group clarified. As part of this campaign by the decentralized and largely undefined hacking group, Anonymous claims to have taken down the main messaging forum used by ISIS, with more offensives to come. “We don’t forgive and we don’t forget”.
