    Hacker group Anonymous have declared war against ISIS after the attacks in Paris on Friday night.

    Posting a video on YouTube, the group said it would use its knowledge to "unite humanity" and warned the terrorists to "expect us".

    Behind their signature mask, a spokesperson said: "Anonymous from all over the world will hunt you down.

    "You should know that we will find you and we will not let you go.

    "We will launch the biggest operation ever against you.

    "Expect massive cyber attacks. War is declared. Get prepared."

    Kinda hard to harm Isis when they're using a potato to access the internet.

    What are they going to do? I've heard this kind of crap from Anonymous before. Nothing happens. They just like to lob threats.

    I asked this to a couple of my cyber-savvy friends the other day, when there were literally thousands of twitterers crowing about the attacks:

    If Anonymous can uncover 1000 KKK members and post their names, addresses, IPs and occupations, how hard would it be for them to find out who and where the sympathizers/accomplices are and "out" them to, say, someone who works with weapons from time to time? He said that it was not a matter of technology or skills, but of ideology, and Anonymous wasn't really in the business of helping out military/governments. Looks like that may have changed.

    The KKK member thing was pretty crazy.

    If they have the capability, just exposing the sympathizers could completely wreck havoc on their network. I would guess the government wouldn't even go after them for doing it either. The hacker group isn't bound to national and world laws, so releasing information would make ISIS's life hell.

    That is, of course, they are capable of doing it.

    Maybe this will end up like how they went against the Mexican Drug Cartel.

    I don't know if they can succeed, but if they can interrupt money transfers, point out activists, track activists and alert authorities or the public about possible member travel. If they can track citizens who become sympathizers and out them before they become fully radicalized, then all these actions could have an affect. But do they have the capability, the structure and the long term planning to pull these actions off?

    So, Anonymous has declared war on Isis

    ... ironic that 72 virgins are now attacking the terrorists.

    (joke from reddit.)

    Great! Much better than the traditional approach.

    Not sure it's a good idea for hackers to go after ISIS since the US has gotten actionable intelligence from idiotic jihadis' twitter and instagram pics.

    That's not where you hurt them. If the hackers can go deeper and find "bank transactions" by big money guys or politicians, things can get really interesting. The CIA or other various "intelligence" agencies do not make people public. But if someone outside this circle starts releasing these details, it can get ugly

    However well intentioned these hacktivists may be, it still seems probable they'd just be interfering ongoing intelligence operations that may be running at the moment. As inept as our own intelligence agencies seem at times, I don't believe that these hacktivists have superior capabilities than the CIA or NSA to uncover "bank transactions". Anonymous seem focussed on a short game that brings them the publicity they are seeking for their causes. I'm worried that Anonymous may out people who are under surveillance and blow any chance intelligence officials have of gathering information from them.

    You do have a point there. That is if the US government is actually fighting the war against Islamic Extremists

    I'm pretty sure the terrorists use messengers to pass information.

    Anonymous more likely will target hosts where recruiting efforts go on, etc.

    I wouldn't worry about outing individual terrorists. More than the CIA can go get 'em.
