After the Charlie Hebdo massacre in Paris this past January, the hacktivist group Anonymous set its sights on the Islamic jihadist perpetrators. #OpCharlieHebdo was aimed at tracking and taking down the social media accounts of all terrorists and their sympathizers including ISIS. They are apparently doubling down after the latest multiple terrorist attacks in Paris with #OpParis.
One day after the carnage, they took down over over 5,000 Twitter accounts, though I'm sure by now it's more. They've also set up websites in case you want to help. Here's the official Twitter account for #OpParis, where they are warning that ISIS is setting up fake accounts. So beware.
They have also published the names, addresses and phone numbers of 5 ISIS recruiters living in Afghanistan, Somalia and Tunisia, and one allegedly living in Europe.
Of course, there is no way to determine how many they have really shut down, and naturally they will sprout back up like nasty weeds, but at least ISIS is somewhat thwarted by the hackers.
Here is their latest video.

Hacktivist Group Anonymous To Target Jihadists Over Charlie Hebdo Massacre #OpCharlieHebdo
Every once in a while the hacktivist group Anonymous does the right thing, though more often than not they don't. They've taken on the Westboro Baptist Church wackos, and pedophiles, and now they're after terrorists. Prompted by the Charlie Hebdo massacre, Anonymous is launching Operation Charlie Hebdo #OpCharlieHebdo. A video and statement posted on the Belgian Twitter account is "a message for al-Qaeda, the Islamic State and other terrorists"
Video on Telegraph UK.
But this isn't the first time they've targeted terrorists, though. Last year they threatened ISIS with #OpIceISIS, and they're stronger than ever.
Good luck to them.
In the clip, a figure wearing the group's symbolic Guy Fawkes mask is seated in front of a desk with the hashtag #OpCharlieHebdo - which stands for Operation Charlie Hebdo - featured on screen.
The figure, whose voice is obscured says: "We are declaring war against you, the terrorists."
They add that the group will track down and close all accounts on social networks related to terrorists in order to avenge those who have been killed.
This is backed up with a statement entitled "a message to the enemies of freedom of expression" posted to Pastebin, the hacker collective offered their condolences to "the families of the victims of this cowardly and despicable act".
They write "freedom of expression has suffered inhuman assault ... and it is our duty to react".
Anonymous are a group comprised of activists and hackers who claim to defend and protect democracy.

"Anonymous" Hackers Take On ISIS #OpIceISIS
It appears the latest project of the hacktivist group Anonymous is ISIS, so they are targeting those countries they believe are aiding and abetting the terrorist group, including Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Turkey. With an added warning to the U.S.
They released a video on YouTube stating the following:
Like most liberal, p.c. fools out there- including Barack Obama and John Kerry- Anonymous claims the "savages" have "no religion or morality." They have it right on the lack of morality, but message to Anonymous- just because you don't think they are Muslims or represent the Islamic religion, doesn't make it so. They most definitely consider themselves Muslim, and follow the teachings of Mohammed in great detail.
Here's an exclusive interview on France24 with one member of Anonymous, regarding what motivated them to tackle ISIS through social media.
They released a video on YouTube stating the following:
To the citizens of the world,
We are Anonymous.
The events currently transpiring in Iraq have made us as a collective re-evaluate our priorities in regards to recent operations. The Iraqi people have gone through almost two weeks of sheer terror most of us will never know nor experience. We are held by a code of honor to protect those who are defenseless, both in the cyber world and the real world.
Before our inception, the Iraq war was well underway and crimes against humanity were rampant. The United States had no small part in this. When the United States government decided to begin an unnecessary war with the promise of oil and funds to the military industrial complex, it failed to realize the severity of taking out a leader who controlled a strong internal security force. This led to the power vacuum we witnessed after his capture. Yes, Saddam Hussein was ruthless and violent, but with this war, the US was guilty of the same crimes (i.e. Blackwater, Abu Ghraib, etc.).
Fast forward to today, and Iraq is descending into chaos yet again thanks to the dastardly ruthless gang aiming to establish an "Islamic" state combining both Iraq and Syria, thus doing away with the post-WWI borders. They call themselves ISIS. These savages who have no religion or morality are bent on burning everything in their path, killing and pillaging as they go. They must be stopped.
Several days ago, their electronic division assumed control of one of our twitter accounts (@TheAnonMessage) claiming it for themselves and releasing several graphic photos of their assault near Baghdad. These tweets have since been deleted. We sincerely apologize to the twitter followers who had to witness this without warning. This was an unfortunate, unprecedented takeover and steps have been taken to further secure this account from any future attempted hacks.
We would also like to comment on the mainstream media who are pushing the division of Iraqis even further. The Iraqi public is made up of two Islamic sects: Sunnis and Shias. There are also other groups which include Kurds, Turkmen, Assyrians, Christians and others. The media would want us to believe that ISIS is made up of strictly Sunnis and the Iraqi army is a majority-controlled and operated Shia faction. This is false. The groups that have been listed INCLUDING Sunnis are enlisted in the Iraqi army and Sunni clerics in Iraq have also called for their followers to join ranks with their Shia brothers to defend their homelands.
ISIS is a group made up of a Takfiri sect which is regarded by many prestigious clerics and organizations including Al-Azhar, as unislamic. In fact, they have denounced them as "Khawarij" and declared that they must be exterminated from Islamic lands. This is why we urge the American mainstream media to stop releasing false information and further escalating the violence with their ignorant journalism.
In conclusion, we stand by every righteous being when we say that we have also declared complete solidarity against those who affiliate themselves with ISIS and those who control them.
Aljazeera; you have tarnished your reputation by spewing your lies and your treasonous support to ISIS. You will not escape us.
To the state of Qatar, Turkey, and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia; you will not escape our wrath. Evidence shows your continued support and supply to ISIS. If this does not promptly stop, we will be forced to unleash our entire legion against your pathetic excuse of a cyber-security.
And to the United States; another attempt at fueling your military industrial complex for the sake of security and democracy will be grounds for our complete assault against your virtual government infrastructure. You have been warned.
We are Anonymous.
We are Legion.
We do not forgive.
We do not forget.
Expect us.
Like most liberal, p.c. fools out there- including Barack Obama and John Kerry- Anonymous claims the "savages" have "no religion or morality." They have it right on the lack of morality, but message to Anonymous- just because you don't think they are Muslims or represent the Islamic religion, doesn't make it so.

Hacktivists "Anonymous" To "Erase Israel From The Internet" April 7
The Hacktivist group Anonymous is at it again. This time it has set April 7 as the day it will launch a coordinated attack to "erase Israel from the Internet," because these idiots have no clue who the good guys are.
It's not the first time they have targeted Israel. Back in November 2012, Anonymous initiated cyber-warfare against Israel when the IDF entered Gaza during the Operation Pillar of Defense. Human Rights Watch claims both sides were guilty of violating laws of war, but the hacktivists don't seem to care what Hamas does.
This was the original Anonymous #OpIsrael call to action video posted on YouTube.
The April 7th cyber-attack event even has several pages on Facebook. And here.
A hacker, who adopted the pseudonym ‘Anon Ghost,’ initiated the event and named it #OpIsrael, according to the Arabian Gazette on Wednesday.
Many more known hacktivists, notorious for carrying out state-targeted attacks, are supporting the campaign. One hacking team told The Hackers Post website their reason for participation; “Israel isn't stopping human rights violations. It’s to show solidarity with newly recognized Palestinian state.”
Israel has taken the threats seriously, especially since several state-run websites have already been affected, subsequently, defensive preparations are already underway.
Officer Ben Avi, Director of online webpage Accessible Government, told Israeli news source Haaretz, “what distinguishes this plan when compared to previous attacks is that it really seems to be organized by Anonymous-affiliated groups from around the world in what looks like a joining of forces.”

Westboro Baptist Versus Anonymous
This is a tad old- uploaded in February 2011- but in light of their ongoing battle.
Shirley 'wacko' Phelps-Roper of the hateful Westboro Baptist Church goes at it with a member of the hacktivist group Anonymous about some threatening letter attributed to Anonymous that they claim was a hoax, possibly by WBC itself for attention. Anonymous then hacks the WBC website live.
Anonymous was, however, responsible for hacking the WBC website after they said they were planning on demonstrating at the funerals of the Sandy Hook victims.

Hacktivists "Anonymous" Hack Westboro Baptist Church For Sandy Hook Elementary
Occasionally the hacktivist group "Anonymous" does something worthwhile like their campaign against pedophiles. Now the collective has set its sight on the purveyors of hate the Westboro Baptist Church (WBC) after it announced members would picket Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut. Anonymous has been targeting WBC for a few months now, but the total lack of humanity in picketing a site where 20 children and 6 adults were gunned down like animals was too much, so they hacked the WBC website. They then allegedly posted personal information about church members on USArmyWTFMoments,com (yes, it exists), although the information is no longer there. One can only assume website was threatened with a lawsuit.
According to The Inquisitr:
After posting the commentary, The Inquisitr was apparently contacted by someone from Anonymous which said:
Whether you agree or not with what Anonymous is doing in this particular case(evil fighting evil), or whether you believe that WBC has the right to do what they do (freedom of speech) as hateful as it might be, is inconsequential. We eventually get what we deserve, good or bad, it's called karma.
According to The Inquisitr:
Anonymous has been after the Westboro Baptist Church for several months now, hacking their websites repeatedly. Recently, they accused the church of creating a fake letter from the hacking group in order to trick other hackers into attacking the website. Anonymous warned their supporters the church planned to harvest internet addresses and sue people. Suing people is apparently the primary activity of the Westboro Baptist Church when they aren’t screaming hate at funerals.
Of course, Westboro denied the charges and taunted Anonymous as incompetent hackers. They claimed their website was protected by God. Big mistake. A few days later, while a Westboro spokeswoman was boasting about how the church foiled Anonymous on a radio talk show, an Anonymous spokesman called in and hacked the church’s website in real time on the air.
After posting the commentary, The Inquisitr was apparently contacted by someone from Anonymous which said:
“Just hacked Westboro’s site. Freedom of speech is one thing. But freedom to hate is another. A domain such as “godhatesfags.com should not exist despite rumblings of members picketing Sandy Hook. Those families have enough anguish to deal with.”
Whether you agree or not with what Anonymous is doing in this particular case(evil fighting evil), or whether you believe that WBC has the right to do what they do (freedom of speech) as hateful as it might be, is inconsequential. We eventually get what we deserve, good or bad, it's called karma.

ANONYMOUS Threatens The RNC In Tampa
The hacktivist group Anonymous is calling on 'citizens of the world' to "fight back" at the Republican National Convention in Tampa on August 27th. And they ask people not to fear them. What a joke.
Why don't these people do something constructive and go to places where there is true oppression. Why don't they fight for true freedom for the poor, hungry and suffering in countries like Afghanistan, Iran, Syria, Yemen, and a plethora of other countries that truly oppress their citizens.
Grow up!

We are Anonymous, we fight for every American who is sick of politicians and corporations running our lives, making our decisions and causing the suffering of our people. No matter how many of us fall in battle we can not be stopped. Anonymous is indeed very real and alive. We are collectives of normal everyday Americans all around you, we are not a few but many. We all share one ideology, what we stand for is true freedom. Freedom from the oppressive regime that our government has become.

Together united by one divided zero we will fight for what belongs to the people. May freedom be with you all.

Hacktivists "Anonymous" Going After Pedophiles- Again
The hacktivist collective "Anonymous" is continuing their campaign against pedophiles. It started late last year (October, 2011) when they launched Operation Darknet (#OpDarknet) which targeted the TOR built kiddie porn sharing site Lolita City. When Freedom Hosting refused to remove the content, it too was targeted. The operation netted 1589 Lolita City users whose names were published via Pastebin along with their usernames, amounts of images they had uploaded, and how long their account was in existence.
In a continuing effort to take down the industry they have now launched #OpPedoChat and are calling upon all citizens of the world to take part in exposing and shutting down Internet child porn sites. Their latest statement:
For those who might not know what LULZ means (I didn't), here's the definition.
They've managed to net a few wins, with some sites down and the names, ip addresses, emails and sometimes phone numbers of 'participants' being published. The rest is up to the police, they say. One alleged pedophile is Hans-Peters Luyckx, a local Belgian official with the controversial Far-Right party Vlaams Belang. He denies the allegations claiming his website was hacked, but in the meantime resigned temporarily from the party. He could very well be guilty, and if so he deserves what he gets. But I wouldn't put it past Anonymous (with their hacking abilities) to target politicians they dislike.
Do I approve of their tactics for trying to clean up the Internet? Yes, as long as they don't target innocent people. Does their #OpPedoChat campaign make me like them any better? Absolutely not.
In a continuing effort to take down the industry they have now launched #OpPedoChat and are calling upon all citizens of the world to take part in exposing and shutting down Internet child porn sites. Their latest statement:
Lately, there has been a surge of websites dedicated to pedophiles for chat, picture sharing, etc. These sickos openly advocate concepts like “man-boy love” with statements such as “If the boy [in this case only 8 years old] is asking for it, we shouldn’t deny him”. This is not limited to boys, boards for little girls exist as well and operate with impunity. Child pornography is frequently traded and even innocent pictures of random children (at the beach, on a playground, etc) are publicly fantasized about. This is unacceptable and will not be tolerated.
WE Anonymous aim to diminish if not eradicate this plague from the Internet. For the good of our followers, for the good of mankind, and for our own enjoyment we shall expel from the Internet and systematically destroy any such boards that continue to operate.
YOU are Anonymous as well. YOU can get off your ass and help. Spread the word to fellow Anons, to the press, and encourage them to do the same. Those that can attack are asked to fire their lazors; those that cannot are encouraged to learn. These pedos are very butthurt about being hit too, so there is some LULZ factor in it. SAIL SAFE!
