Anonymous takes down 20000 ISIS Twitter accounts.


           After the terrorist attack at Paris there has been a cyber warfare started between two groups Anonymous and ISIS. Apart from France and other nations that bombing the groups, Anonymous started a cyber war against ISIS.

           Anonymous stated that "They will hunt down the ISIS twitter account" and then ISIS stated Anonymous as Idiots and then it has started.

           Already Anonymous published a list of twitter accounts who are having connections with ISIS group (Refer earlier post) and then they also published some simple hacking tutorials for public viewing.

          The main idea of this is to stop the propagation of news to all the members through the social media and one of the main social media used by the members is the Twitter and now it has been targeted.

          Another main source of communication is considered to be the Telegram messenger and then few days back Telegram has removed 78 channels that belongs to the ISIS groups.

         In a video released by Anonymous they have stated that they have taken down 20000 Twitter accounts related to ISIS members.

        It is a fact that Social media sites has been used by terrorist groups to influence people and then make them a member of their activities. 

P.S : The post is to create awareness and not to create any negative impact.
