‘We will hunt you down’

 

 

    Anonymous Declares War on ISIS After Paris Attacks

In response to the deadly terrorist assault in Paris, hacktivist collective Anonymous declared war on ISIS. In a video posted to YouTube, the hacker group announced that in the wake of the Paris attacks, they would be taking the cyber offensive against the terrorist group.

The Guy Fawkes wearing Anon in the video called the terrorists “vermin,” warning that Anonymous will continue to “hunt them down” and reveal Islamic State supporters and propagandists, as they have since the Charlie Hedbo attack.

Speaking in French, a masked Anon representative stated:

    “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. The French people are stronger than you and will come out of this atrocity even stronger.”

The group didn’t elaborate on specific targets or operations but made certain that the world is aware that Anonymous opposes the Islamic State on all fronts.

The main weapon used by ISIS to spread their extremist ideology has been social media, and regardless of your stance as to how the terror group was created or who created it, Twitter and Facebook have been the major tools for the growth of the Islamic State.
