Anonymous Still Going Strong vs ISIS #OpISIS

Anonymous have been working on taking down ISIS recruiting efforts. They recently posted that they took control of dozens of Twitter and Facebook accounts that had been openly used by ISIS to expand their influence and recruit new members (see source link below for more information). Along with this a video threatening ISIS that it will continue.

The below video explains the attack was coordinated by people from all races, countries, religions, and ethnicity. “United as one, divided by zero.” An important point made by the video is that “the terrorists that are calling themselves the Islamic State (ISIS) are not Muslims.” Anonymous further directs a threat to ISIS itself.

“We will hunt you, take down your sites, accounts, emails, and expose you…
From now on, no safe place for you online…
You will be treated like a virus, and we are the cure…
We own the internet…
We are Anonymous; we are Legion; we do not forgive, we do not forget, Expect us.”

Anonymous is breaking the law by their actions and we at play3r do not condone what they are doing but with country’s powerless to deal with the ISIS online presents its nice to see people doing more than saying it is not on and must stop.

Anonymous is a loosely associated international network of activist and hacktivist entities. A website nominally associated with the group describes it as “an internet gathering” with a very loose and decentralized command structure that operates on ideas rather than directives, Supporters have called the group “freedom fighters” and digital Robin Hoods while critics have described them as “a cyber-lynch-mob” or “cyber terrorists”

ISIS is a jihadist rebel group that controls territory in Iraq and Syria and also operates in eastern Libya, the Sinai Peninsula of Egypt, and other areas of the Middle East.
