ISIS Recruiting Site Replaced With
Viagra Ad, Posted 11/30/15, by Joe A. Gilbertson, PunchingbagPost.com
When one thinks
about hackers it usually is in reference to someone who steals credit card
numbers and causes mayhem on the internet. But can a hacker also be a patriot?
According to
their website ghostsec.org "Our mission is to eliminate the online
presence of Islamic extremist groups such as Islamic State (IS), Al-Qaeda,
Al-Nusra, Boko Haram and Al-Shabaab in an effort to stymie their recruitment
and limit their ability to organize international terrorist efforts."
UK publication
Independent.co.uk has reported this group has replaced an ISIS recruiting
website with an ad for viagra. It included a message indicating there was “Too
Much ISIS,” and “Enhance your calm,” and “Too many people are into this
ISIS-stuff. Please gaze upon this lovely ad so we can upgrade our infrastructure
to give you ISIS content you all so desperately crave.”
GhostSec is
purported to be an offshoot of the "hackivist" group called
Anonymous, well known for attacking government and corporate websites.
Author's note: This is
a brand new twist on asymmetric warfare. Terrorists are effective because they
are hidden. They make people feel powerless and less confident in their
leadership. Now the tables are turned, a hidden group is attacking the
terrorists, making them seem powerless, and potential new recruits less
confident in the terrorist leadership.
This is VERY
effective. In their recruitment, they are selling "power," so any
time you can make such arrogant bastards look stupid and powerless it is
devastating to their recruitment efforts.
