A few outlets claimed Anonymous, the loose collective of online activists, had uncovered information about a planned IS group attack.
WWE will stage its annual Survivor Series pay-per-view at Philips Arena in Atlanta Sunday, and announced that the show is still scheduled as planned after being listed as a potential ISIS target.
OpParisIntel, a group within Anonymous, reported that it had information about imminent attacks in Paris, a little over a week after a three-pronged assault left 130 people dead and 350 injured in the French capital. The statement requested broad dissemination and claimed to expose possible ISIS threats against events to be held November 22nd in Rome, Indonesia, Milan-a concert given by Vegas heavy metal band Five Finger Death Punch-and the United States.
Atlanta resident Hallie Mather said: “I do take these things seriously and I think that if the Federal Bureau of Investigation thinks that it’s something that we should be concerned about that it’s definitely something that we should be concerned about”.
A few ticket holders say they still plan to attend Sunday’s WWE event in Atlanta. The terrorists also plotted out attacks at concerts, colleges and churches in Europe and Asia, Anonymous said. The agency also said it is working closely with their law enforcement partners and private sector partners to keep the community safe. Anonymous said it gave the evidence to relevant officials “days ago”.
“What they gonna hack…all they can do is hacking twitter accounts, emails, etc…”, the IS affiliate Islamic Cyber Army said.
The Georgia Emergency Management Agency dismissed the information as rumor. With a new WWE World Heavyweight Champion guaranteed to emerge and The Undertaker fighting at the PPV for the first time since 2009, Survivor Series has more importance than it has had in recent years.
Triple H has issued a statement on the status of WWE’s Survivor Series event following reports ISIS could be planning further terror attacks.
