Hacking ISIS

Thousands of ISIS Operatives Just Met Their Most UNLIKELY Threat Ever

ISIS has made huge inroads in Muslim communities across the world, including here in the U.S. because they have a significant mastery of all things Internet.

It’s well known the terror group uses social media websites like Twitter, Facebook, and online gaming communities to help recruit as well as further their devious plans.

Their use of online tools to grow has ramped up in recent months and one group isn’t going to let them use the Internet that way anymore.

Enter Anonymous, the consortium of digital activists and hackers who are already damaging ISIS in ways Obama never could have done.

Via Anonymous’s website:
Anonymous’ biggest operation ever is in full battle flight. #OpParis, the largest Anonymous campaign has so far successfully taken down 5500 social media accounts related to the terrorist group ISIS 24 hours after ISIS called Anonymous “idiots.”

The Anonymous vs ISIS showdown is only the beginning, with Anonymous vowing to wipe the Internet stage of all ISIS activity, rendering ISIS impotent of their recruiting network online.

It comes at a time when Anonymous calls for world unity against ISIS. “Our capability to take down ISIS is a direct result of our collective’s sophisticated hackers, data miners, and spies that we have all around the world. We have people very, very close to ISIS on the ground, which makes gathering intel about ISIS and related activities very easy for us,” Alex Poucher told RT.

The actions from the elite group of Anonymous members have also drawn attention from retired Army General, David Petraeus. In a Foreign Policy report, he commented that these actions and other intelligence recovered could have “considerable value” to counterterrorism operations.

“To date, hacktivists claim to have dismantled some 149 Islamic State-linked websites and flagged roughly 101,000 Twitter accounts and 5,900 propaganda videos. At the same time, this casual association of volunteers has morphed into a new sort of organization, postured to combat the Islamic State in both the Twitter “town square” and the bowels of the deep web.”

Anonymous have declared a “total war” on the terrorist group following the attacks on Paris, and invite the world to show their support.

“[ISIS] does not have hackers like we have hackers,” Poucher expressed, aware of the existence of hackers within the ISIS militant group. “They picked a fight with Anonymous when they attacked Paris, and now they should expect us,” he said, adding that the collective “will not sit by and watch these terror attacks unfold around the world.” The Paris attacks left some 129 people dead and over 300 injured, some still fighting for their lives.

ISIS is literally being crippled by a bunch of nerds at home.
It’s amazing. Imagine what would have happened if Obama had decided to use all that talent at the NSA to damage ISIS this way?

Your personal information would remain safe and the terrorists would lose. With their ability to communicate severely restricted, if not totally eviscerated it will prove quite the challenge for ISIS to carry out attacks similar to the one in Paris. We hope Anonymous does as much damage as they possibly can. Now if only Obama would do something.
