    Anonymous say they have taken down nearly 4,000 pro-Daesh Twitter accounts.

    Shadowy hacking group steps up cyber-conflict by revealing names and addresses of suspected ISIS zealots
    [​IMG]
    Anonymous has begun publishing the names and addresses of alleged ISIS recruiters.

    The masked hacking group declared war against the Islamic State in the wake of the Paris attacks, vowing to silence extremist propaganda and expose undercover operatives.

    Now it has leaked details of at least five men it claims are recruiters for the terror group, as well as taking down 5,500 Twitter accounts.

    Mirror Online has seen the names, addresses and phone numbers of men living in countries including Afghanistan, Tunisia and Somalia.

    Anonymous activists also claimed to have identified a "high-ranking" recruiter living in Europe, but have not yet published an address.

    We have contacted some of the men who have been named, but they have not replied and we have been unable to verify if the allegations against them are true.

    Anonymous declare war on Islamic State after Paris attacks
    Some Anonymous spokesmen claimed to have closed down a total of 5,500 ISIS supporters' Twitter accounts, whilst others put the figure at 900.

    Hitting these accounts is seen as a way of shutting down the ISIS recruitment and propaganda machine.

    A group of hackers called GhostSec is also working feverishly to identify the Paris attackers.

    "We have been flooded with data," a source told us.

    Anonymous is now compiling a massive list of Twitter accounts and web pages ahead of a large cyber-assault due to take place later this evening.

    It is expected to use a digital weapon called a "DDoS" to shut down websites.

    Yesterday, the hackers released a video which warned: "You should know that we will find you and we will not let you go."

    "Expect massive cyber attacks. War is declared.

    "Get prepared."

    Can Anonymous help to defeat ISIS?

    ISIS Calls Anonymous ‘Idiots’ as Cyber War Heats Up

    ISIS, the militant group that has taken credit for tragic attacks on Paris over the weekend, has opened a new front in a cyber war with Anonymous.


    In a posting to Telegram, an encrypted chatting and social service similar to Facebook-owned WhatsApp, an account allegedly linked to ISIS sent out a public service announcement to all ISIS members warning them of a threat from Anonymous. The message, which was posted in English, criticizes Anonymous for even trying to target the militant group.


    “The #Anonymous hackers threatened in new video release that they will carry out a major hack operation on the Islamic state (idiots),” the message says,     according to Business Insider, which obtained a copy of it. “What they gonna hack?”


    “Expect massive cyber attacks,” a person representing Anonymous said in the video while wearing the organization’s signature Guy Fawkes mask. “War is declared. Get prepared. 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.”

    Since then, Anonymous has opened an official #OpParis Twitter account to share updates on its operation. Earlier on Tuesday, the account claimed to have taken down “more than 5,500 Twitter account [sic] of ISIS.” The account also links to a text file on Pastebin seemingly outlining Anonymous’ plans. The document includes what appears to be a target list for Anonymous members, including ISIS member Twitter accounts, Syrian Internet Service Providers, and ISIS-related e-mail and Web servers.

    While #OpParis has yet to respond directly to the ISIS message, the latest battle seems to be brewing over which group is smarter. Earlier today, Anonymous posted a message to Twitter saying that is, in fact, the smarter party.

    “ISIS tries to stop us, but we’re smarter,” the #OpParis account reads.

    In addition to warning ISIS members of a potential Anonymous threat, the Telegram message includes several instructions for members to follow in order to avoid a potential hack. Members of the militant group have been warned to use virtual private networks, or VPNs, to anonymize themselves on the Web. They were also urged to stay away from Twitter and not talk to anyone they may not know.

    ISIS has a history fighting Anonymous. After the attack on Charlie Hebdo in January, Anonymous posted a video, saying that it would attack terrorists in connection with the killings. Soon after, Anonymous successfully took down tens of thousands of Twitter accounts suspected of ISIS connections. Anonymous also took down a dating site for ISIS members.

    The latest attack, Anonymous has warned, will yield an even greater response.

    “We should expect Anonymous to target ISIS members online and make ISIS member information publicly available,” Ben FitzGerald, cybersecurity expert and technology director for the national security program at the Center for a New American Security, told Fortune. “Anonymous will go after online personas and ISIS websites.”

    So far, Anonymous has indeed gone after those accounts, as well as websites and e-mail addresses potentially connected to the militant group. The hacking collective seems to have its sights set firmly on disrupting ISIS.

    For now, ISIS seems only ready to say Anonymous is dumb for attacking its members. Anonymous, meanwhile, tweeted yesterday an ominous message for ISIS, as it prepares for an all-out war.


    “We’ve set up divisions now,” the Twitter account reads. “This should be much more effective. More to come.”

    I'm sure Anonymous have some mad skills, but I'm also sure it's nothing compared to the cyberwarfare abilities that the U.S. government has at its disposal and what it has pointed at ISIS.

    In the first 24 hours following the terrorist attacks on Paris, there were hundreds of thousands of celebratory tweets from supporters of Islamic State. Some 46,000 Twitter accounts send out a steady stream of photo essays, audio, video, news bulletins and theological writings on behalf of IS.

    This is the digital communications battleground in the fight against IS. It’s where the rest of the world is losing. Without at least as swift and powerful action in the digital theater, air attacks may bring only temporary victories and could even help IS's effective recruitment drive.

    Similarly, better intelligence is necessary but not sufficient. IS recruits not only in the neighborhoods of Brussels and the suburbs of Paris, but among nearly 1 billion digitally native Muslim millennials around the world. These young people are much more likely to come across IS messages promoting extremist ideology than messages pushing back.

    IS issued more than 1,146 communications in a single month on their official channels, an October study found. Those messages are the work of a determined army of online IS foot soldiers that has won over tens of thousands of recruits worldwide.

    Like all marketers trying to influence millennials, IS uses social media platforms like Twitter, Facebook, WhatsApp and SnapChat as well as peer-to-peer platforms such as Telegram and Kik and video gaming platforms. Videos of beheadings and bombings send a message of indomitability and build momentum; but there is also poetry, music, promises of communal brotherhood/sisterhood and portraits of a caliphate utopia finely gauged to woo Muslims who face a crisis of identity.

    Though there has been much talk of the “soft war” in the 14 years since 9/11, the West’s approach has been hugely lacking. So has the response from Muslim countries.

    Anonymous Accuses AMERICAN Company of Helping ISIS!
    [​IMG]
    After ISIS terrorized the city of Paris last week, hacktivist group Anonymous ‘declared war’ on the Islamic State.

    Already in the past several days we’ve seen the vigilante hackers take down over 5,500 ISIS twitter accounts, and publish personal details of ‘ISIS recruiters.’

    Well the hacking collective struck again… but this time it hits a lot closer to home.

    Anonymous is accusing a Silicon Valley startup of helping ISIS!

    Business Insider reports:

    After last week’s deadly terrorist attacks in Paris linked to ISIS, the hacking collective Anonymous has declared war on the militant group — and a Silicon Valley startup has fallen in the firing line.

    CloudFlare is a service that helps websites stay online in the face of overwhelming traffic. It acts as an intermediary or filter and is a vital protection against DDoS attacks (in which someone sends huge amounts of traffic at a site in an attempt to make it collapse under the weight).

    The six-year-old company doesn’t discriminate when it comes to picking customers. It has even been accused of protecting dozens websites affiliated with ISIS — and has come under fire from some members of Anonymous as a result.

    CloudFlare CEO Matthew Prince has now hit back at his critics, suggesting that Anonymous is being hypocritical, given that many of its members apparently use the service.

    “I did see a Twitter handle said that they were mad at us,” he told The Register. “I’d suggest this was armchair analysis by kids — it’s hard to take seriously. Anonymous uses us for some of its sites, despite pressure from some quarters for us to take Anonymous sites offline.”

    He added: “Even if we were hosting sites for ISIS, it wouldn’t be of any use to us … I should imagine those kinds of people pay with stolen credit cards and so that’s a negative for us.”

    As you can see the CEO of CloudFlare essentially dodges the accusation by trying to shift the attention towards Anonymous.

    I’d imagine if he actually was innocent that he’d be irate with the false accusation and would come right out and say that’s a ridiculous claim.

    But rather than doing that, he blames Anonymous for being hypocritical saying that many of its members use the CloudFlare services.

    He even added that he didn’t take the claims seriously, and said “even if we were hosting sites for ISIS, it wouldn’t be of any use to us…”

    It seems pretty clear to me that this Silicon Valley startup is guilty of assisting the barbaric terrorists, and they deserve to pay a severe punishment for their heinous crime.

    Anonymous would have no motivation to falsely uncover an innocent company in their quest for bringing down ISIS.

    Do you think the Silicon Valley tech start-up is guilty or innocent? Please share and drop your comments below!

    ^ Unsurprising that enemies of Anon tangentially related to the issue at hand will be sucked in.

    This whole thing reminds me of our battle with the TimberTrolls a few summers back when they were flashing their wang pics at us.

    I mean, slightly different level, but yet so similar.

    It's easy for the hackers to self promote but the terrorists still use weapons that tear flesh and kill the crowd. Hey, everyone that helps is appreciated.

    Don't we have the technology to loudly play that song in every ISIS occupied city? It sounds silly but could you imagine 24/7 rick roll. After a month of that shit I'd probably pray for a French airstrike.
