Anonymous Attacks ISIS
Posted by: l3fty ()

Anonymous, the online hacking collective known as 'hacktivists,' took credit Tuesday with shutting down hundreds of social media accounts they linked to Islamic State supporters.

The campaign is called "Operation ISIS" or #OpISIS. The group's online declaration of cyberwar was prompted by last month's deadly attack on the French satirical newspaper, Charlie Hebdo.

The hack is potentially a major blow to ISIS' online propaganda strategy. The militants have utilized the easy access to the public provided by social media. These militants, with little tech savvy, have been able to use social media for recruiting, issuing threats and posting killings. As recent as Tuesday, a group that identified itself as the 'CyberCaliphate' hacked into Newsweek's Twitter account to promote its propaganda.

I'm sure this will stop the killings and end however many wars we're currently in.

I would hope the CIA is already on top of this shit and would hack ISIS if they needed too.

Cool for Anonymous if it worked, though.

Anonymous did a good job, but they didn't really do anything....
