Good for them, seeing that many extremists these days use the internet heavily to further their goals.

I wonder if some CD members who thought their previous declarations a waste of time would now support this.

'Anonymous' Hackers Declare War on ISIS in Video Message - NBC News

Quote:
The hacker group Anonymous has apparently responded to the attacks on Paris by posting a video declaration of war against ISIS.

"Expect massive cyber attacks. War is declared. Get prepared," the announcer says in French.

"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," the spokesperson continued, according to translated transcripts of the video.

I can't imagine daesh having a data center.

If they can shut isis down on social media that would be great.

Remember those German teen girls that took isis for travel money? They chatted on social media back and forth and isis wired them money so the girls could travel to Syria and it was all a scam. The girls kept the money but oddly got into trouble for fraud. I wonder how that turned out for them?

Messing around with isis could be a dangerous game. We have seen they are ruthless.

I suspect the French air force is carrying out a much "bigger" operation right now than Anonymous.

I wouldn't discount what Anonymous is capable of. ISIS relies heavily on the internet for communication and if that can be disrupted it can send them into disarray.

Anonymous in general is a bunch of script kiddies. If messing up their facebook accounts and trolling their forums were that effective than they would have been crushed by government backed intelligence sources.

These kids are just trying to exploit this situation for publicity. But I have no problem with them trying.

Police found out about the scam because they were monitoring the activities of the ISIS militants in the country and realised that money was being transferred to the women.

They believe that many other young women may be doing the same.

Initial reports said that three girls were facing up to six years in prison but after public outrage it was revealed that the charges will probably be dropped.

Online commentators said the girls should be praised for their patriotic efforts in conning money out of the Islamic State militants and it now seems likely that officials will take no further action.

A spokesman said: 'There needs to be a complaint from the other side and it doesn't seem as though this is going to be likely.'
bahaha!!!!!!
