Anonymous Continues Open War against ’ISIS’

Local Editor

The international hacking group Anonymous claimed to have taken down 20,000 "ISIS"-linked Twitter accounts as it wages "total war" against the terrorist organization.

Their #OpParis operation came in revenge for the deadly attacks on November 13.

Anonymous are carrying out their very own devastating campaign against the terrorist organization. The hacktivist group has built tools that "might be better than any world government's tools to combat "ISIS" online."

On Tuesday, the group removed 5,500 "ISIS" accounts from the internet.

Later on Wednesday, the group said in a YouTube post: "More than 20,000 Twitter accounts belonging to "ISIS" were taken down by Anonymous." It added that they had provided a list of all the accounts that have been taken down.

The statement addressed the group saying: ""ISIS", we will hunt you and take down your sites, accounts, emails and expose you. From now on, there is no safe place for you online. You will be treated like a virus and we are the cure."

In parallel, the terrorist "ISIS" group has used social media as an effective way to recruit new fighters, especially from the West.

Few days ago, Alex Poucher, an Anonymous representative, spoke to RT about how the hacking collective is engaging in "total war" 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 information about "ISIS" and related activities very easy for us," he said.
