After the Islamic State (ISIS) claimed responsibility for Friday’s wave of attacks that killed 129 people in Paris, the hactivist collective Anonymous declared war on the terrorist faction and its supporters.


"Make no mistake: Anonymous is at war with Daesh," the enigmatic hacker group wrote on Twitter over the weekend, using an alternative name for ISIS.

"We will not give up, we do not forgive," said a person wearing a Guy Fawkes mask. "Expect us."

Anonymous said Sunday that more than 2,000 ISIS-related Twitter accounts had been taken down in Operation Paris (#OpParis). Given the amorphous and secretive nature of Anonymous, however, the group's activities can be hard to verify and track.

...

Since then, Anonymous has reportedly identified and taken down tens of thousands of pro-ISIS Twitter accounts. Some donation pages for the terror group, listed on the dark web, have also been shuttered by the collective, an Anonymous member told The Atlantic earlier this year.

'Anonymous' vows cyber attacks on Isil
Tuesday 17 November 2015 - Anonymous, a loose-knit international network of activist hackers, is preparing to unleash waves of cyber attacks on Islamic State following the attacks in Paris last week that killed 129 people, a self-described member said in a video.

A man wearing a Guy Fawkes mask appeared on a video posted to YouTube and said the Islamic State (Isil) militants who claimed responsibility for the Paris attacks were "vermin" and Anonymous would hunt them down. "These attacks cannot remain unpunished," the man said, speaking in French. "We are going to launch the biggest operation ever against you. Expect many cyber attacks. War has been declared. Get ready," the man said. The video posted to YouTube had attracted more than 1.1 million views by yesterday afternoon.

Anonymous is an international network of activist computer hackers which has claimed responsibility for many cyber attacks against government, corporate and religious websites over the past dozen years. Since the attack on French weekly Charlie Hebdo last January, which led to the deaths of 17 victims, Anonymous activists have waged an online vigilante campaign to force the shutdown of Twitter profiles suspected of belonging to Isil supporters.

The group says it has identified more than 39,000 suspected Isil profiles and reported them to Twitter. It claims to have had more than 25,000 of these accounts suspended, while nearly 14,000 more on the targeted list remain active, according to a list posted to a site calling itself Lucky Troll Club.

Anonymous says it took down 5,550 Islamic State Twitter accounts
Nov. 18, 2015 -- Hacker group Anonymous said it has taken down 5,500 Twitter accounts linked to the Islamic State days after declaring war on the militant group.

The loose collective of hackers said "OpParis," or Operation Paris, the team that launched the digital assault on the IS, is collecting the details from the accounts, verifying them through a "trusted individual" and will be turning over the information to authorities.

The hacker group also created three guides to help others aid in the effort. The Noob Guide gives basic information about beginning hacking techniques. The other two, the Reporter Guide and the Searcher Guide are specifically targeted to more detailed hacks. The group is encouraging the general public to follow the directions and uncover IS accounts.

Demonstrators wearing Guy Fawkes masks prepare to march in the Million Mask March, an anti-establishment protest expected to take part today in over 670 cities worldwide, in Washington, D.C. on November 5, 2015. The march, allegedly organized by Anonymous, the “hacktivist” group linked to cyber-attacks against governments and multi-national corporations, aims at protesting government overreach and corporate greed, among other grievances.​

The group declared war on the IS -- also identified as ISIS, ISIL and Daesh -- in response to the deadly attacks on Paris that left 129 dead. The IS responded by calling them "idiots" and offered guidance to its followers to avoid cyberattacks from Anonymous.

Anonymous predicting a worldwide day of terror today...

Anonymous hackers claim ISIS militants are plotting 'worldwide day of terror' TODAY
21 Nov 2015 - In a statement the secretive collective claims terrorists are planning to carry out as many as eight attacks both in the Western countries and the Middle East on Sunday

Hacking group Anonymous claims ISIS is plotting a worldwide day of terror today. In a statement the secretive collective claims terrorists are plotting to carry out as many as eight attacks on Sunday. France, the United States, Indonesia, Italy and Lebanon have reportedly been targeted according to posts on Twitter alongside the hashtags #22Daesh #OpParis. Among the events targeted is the WWE wrestling event at the Philips Arena in Atlanta, Georgia, the Express reports. Hacker group Anonymous have declared war against ISIS after the attacks in Paris last Friday night.

Hotel: Belgian soldiers stand guard outside the Radisson Blu hotel in central Brussels​

Posting a video on YouTube, the group said it would use its knowledge to "unite humanity" and warned the terrorists to "expect us". The group's latest statement comes as Europe remains on a high state of alert amid fears of further attacks. Belgian special forces arrested four people today as the country remained on the highest terrorism alert possible, Level 4. The arrests were made at around 3pm today in the Place du Grand Sablon, according to local media. The Belgian army have been drafted on to the streets of Brussels and the city's metro shut down as security chiefs announced there was a "serious and imminent" threat.

Armed: A terror attack is feared to be 'imminent'​

The capital had been put into lockdown after reports emerged that the city was facing the threat of a bomb and gun attack similar to that seen on the streets of Paris a week ago. Charles Michel, Belgian Prime Minster, said the decision to raise the alert was "based on quite precise information about the risk of an attack like the one that happened in Paris". Speaking at a news conference, he said the fear was that "several individuals with arms and explosives could launch an attack ... perhaps even in several places".

Security: An armoured vehicle in front of the Central station in Brussels​

Mr Michel added: "We urge the public not to give in to panic, to stay calm. We have taken the measures that are necessary." Heavily-armed soldiers are patrolling the streets, trucks drive down the roads and members of the public have been told to avoid public gatherings - such as concerts - while the threat is examined. Belgium's national Crisis Centre raised its terrorism alert for the Brussels region to Level 4, which indicates a "serious and immediate threat".

'ISIS want a civil war'
22 Nov.`15 - Mary fitzgerald reports from Paris on the mood after the worst attacks in France since World War II. She warns that a surge in anti-Muslim sentiment could play into the hands of the terrorists, and talks to a former ISIS captive who saw the jihadists up close

Few people have experienced the brutality of ISIS up close and lived to tell the tale as Nicolas Henin has done. The French journalist was held hostage by ISIS for 10 months before being released, along with a number of compatriots, in April last year. Several of his fellow hostages, including American journalists James Foley and Steven Sotloff, were later killed by their captors, their beheadings filmed in what has now become an all too familiar part of ISIS propaganda. One of Henin's jailers was the infamous Mohammed Emwazi, known as Jihadi John, believed to have been killed in a recent US drone strike in Syria. Last Friday week, ISIS came to Paris, the city Henin grew up in and still calls home. Targeting Parisians who were kicking off their weekend attending a France-Germany game at a football stadium, or watching a Californian heavy metal band perform, or eating at a restaurant, the ISIS militants killed 129 people in coordinated attacks. At least 350 people were also wounded, with scores of people still critically injured. France has been reeling since.

Climate of fear: Armed police patrol at Place de la Republique in Paris in the wake of last week's attacks.​

Henin, who recently published a book on ISIS titled Jihad Academy, has spent the past week cautioning his compatriots against falling into a trap set by what he describes as "street kids drunk on ideology and power" who are convinced of an apocalyptic confrontation between Muslims and others. "With their news and social media interest, they will be noting everything that follows their murderous assault on Paris, and my guess is that right now the chant among them will be 'We are winning'. They will be heartened by every sign of overreaction, of division, of fear, of racism, of xenophobia," he wrote. "Central to their world view is the belief that communities cannot live together with Muslims, and every day their antennae will be tuned towards finding supporting evidence. The pictures from Germany of people welcoming migrants will have been particularly troubling to them. Cohesion, tolerance - it is not what they want to see."

As the contours of the attacks on Paris become clearer and French security services continue to pursue those believed to have orchestrated them, one thing is certain: their objective was to plant discord in an already brittle society and to provoke a retaliatory response that would bolster ISIS's narrative of persecution. France was already trying to deal with the fallout from a series of attacks in the capital earlier this year when militants killed 17 people in raids on the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo and a kosher supermarket. In the immediate aftermath of those attacks, there were mass public rallies across France and appeals for solidarity and unity. But the public mood in the months since had taken on a darker tone. In France's second city, Marseille, where I live, members of the far-right National Front have tried to exploit the tragedy to whip up anti-Muslim feeling in a city which is home to one of the country's largest Muslim populations.

Anonymous 'Op Isis': Isis supporters hit back by publishing set of anti-hack guidelines
21 Nov.`15 - Isis calls hacking group 'idiots' but urges its followers to take precaution in their online activity

Apparent Isis supporters have responded to hacking group Anonymous’s threats by publishing a series of basic guidelines to prevent their followers‘ Twitter accounts from being hacked. The pro-Isis accounts hit back at Anonymous's efforts to name and shame and take down Isis-linked Twitter accounts by calling them "idiots" and urging extremists to follow precaution measures. The message was sent from the Khilafah News channel and states: "The #Anonymous hackers threatened in new video release that they will carry out a major hack operation on the Islamic state (idiots)." The online safety guidelines were released in a messaging app called Telegram, which encrypts messages and can destruct them after a certain amount of time.

A protester wearing an Anonymous Guy Fawkes mask takes part in a demonstration in front of the Concorde square in Paris, as part of a 'popular march' gathering Anonymous and Indignant protesters, to denounce an 'electoral farce', on April 21, 2012, on the eve of the first-round poll of French presidential election​

The five steps instructions are aimed to counter the Anonymous collective’s "biggest ever operation" after it "declared war" on Isis in a video in the wake of the Paris attacks. It reads (sic):

* Do not open any kind of link unless u r sure from the source

* Use vpn and change ur IP constantly for security reasons. Phones and computers.

* Do not talk to people u don’t know on Telegram and block them if u have to cause they are many glitches in Telegram and they can hack you by it.

* Don’t talk to people on Twitter DM cause they can hack u too.

* Do not make your #email same as your #username on twitter this mistake cost many Ansar they account and the kuffar published their IP so be careful.

The message was intercepted by the International Centre for the Study of Radicalisation in London. Nick Kaderbhai, a research fellow at the institute told the Huffington Post UK, anyone could subscribe to the Khilafah News channel but “the more IS channels you subscribe to the more open you are to investigation". The instructions come after the Anonymous group claims to have taken down 800 social media accounts linked to Isis members and has been spamming extremists with memes. Among the group’s strategies is finding out hashtags that are used by Isis and potential recruits and spamming them, so that they become unusable and extremists find it harder to communicate. Since January and the shootout at the Paris offices of French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo, which killed 17 people, the hacktivists claim to have closed down 149 websites, 101,000 Twitter accounts and 5,900 propaganda videos, according to an investigation by Foreign Policy.

How Anonymous hacks ISIS...

Operation Isis: Anonymous member reveals how they are waging war on the militant group
28 Nov.`15 - How can a bunch of computer nerds fight an international terrorist group? We find out

Anonymous, the hacker collective known for Guy Fawkes masks and controversial activism, declared war on Isis, following the attacks on Paris on 13 November. But what does that even mean? How can a bunch of computer nerds fight an international terrorist group?

The hacktivist group Anonymous have declared war on Isis following the Paris attacks​

The Fix put those questions and more to Gregg Housh, one of the most prominent — and one of the only publicly identified — members of Anonymous. Housh is semi-retired from hacking these days. In August, he launched Rebel News, a Massachusetts-based Web site that covers the intersection of hacking and activism (a.k.a. hacktivism). He hangs out in the same corners of the Internet where he helped hatch hacking campaigns like Project Chanology, which targeted the Church of Scientology, but says he is now an observer and not a participant. Housh has already been to prison, after all, and he doesn’t want to go back. The conversation has been edited for clarity and length.

THE FIX: How is Anonymous waging a war against Isis and how effective can it be? We know they rely heavily on social media.

HOUSH: Everyone loves to say “hacking,” but what Anonymous is doing is just tons of research, identifying and monitoring everything out there that ISIS might use to communicate and recruit, and trying to get those channels shut down, be it Twitter accounts, Facebook pages, telegram channels. They’re just trying to shut down their ability to talk to the public. I think it’s had a decent effect. One of the things I like about this is anyone can take part. You don’t really have to have any hacking skills, and you don’t have to break the law to do something here. Just find ISIS talking online and then tell someone about it. And the best part about it is ISIS is trying to have a good social presence and trying to recruit, so it’s not like they’re hiding. But one of the problems is someone closely affiliated with what Anonymous used to do, Junaid [Hussain], kind of taught ISIS everything they know. So both sides have the same toolbox.

Hacker Group Calls for World to Troll Islamic State
December 08, 2015 - The hacker activist group Anonymous is calling for people online to "troll" Islamic State on December 11 as part of its self-declared war on the extremist militant group.

In a posting on Ghostbin, Anonymous called for people to “show your support and help against ISIS by joining us and trolling them” as part of “a day they never forget.” The group called for people to take to social media sites like Facebook, Twitter and YouTube to mock IS and to call them “daesh” a derogatory Arabic acronym for the group. The group said it wants to get the hashtags #daesh and #daeshbags trending on Twitter. Anonymous also called for people to find pictures of dead militants to distribute both virtually and in real life.

Activists of the international network "Anonymous" are seen posing behind their masks in Berlin.​

The collective of hackers also urged people to find IS accounts on social media and to report them for possible deletion. “They [IS] thrive off of fear they hope that by their actions they can silence all of us and get us to just lay low and hide in fear,” according to the Anonymous post. “But what many forget and even they do is that there are many more people in the world against them than for them. And that is the goal of this mass uprising, on December 11th we will show them that we are not afraid,we will not just hide.”

'Attacks cannot remain unpunished'

In addition to virtual trolling, Anonymous will have rallies in several U.S. and Canadian cities. Anonymous declared its war against IS in the wake of the November terrorist attacks in Paris. "These attacks cannot remain unpunished," said a masked figure in a video released by the group. The hacker group rose to prominence after a series of cyber attacks against individuals, governments and organizations that it does not approve of, including PayPal, Mastercard and the Church of Scientology, among others.

The group says it has identified more than 39,000 suspected IS profiles and reported them to Twitter. It claims to have had more than 25,000 of these accounts suspended. Nearly 14,000 more on the targeted list remain active, according to a list posted to a site calling itself Lucky Troll Club. The “Islamic Cyber Army," the Islamic State’s cyber arm, responded to Anonymous’ declaration of “total war” by calling the shadowy hacking group “idiots.”

Anonymous cyberattack on Turkey for buying ISIS oil...

Anonymous takes credit for massive cyberattack on Turkey
12/24/15 - Hacking collective Anonymous is claiming responsibility for a slew of cyberattacks on Turkey’s Internet that took down hundreds of thousands of the country's websites.

In a video, the loosely organized hactivist group accused Turkey of supporting the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS), something the government has repeatedly denied. Anonymous recently declared cyber war on ISIS in the wake of the terror attacks in Paris, which left 130 people dead. "Dear government of Turkey, if you don't stop supporting ISIS, we will continue attacking your Internet, your root DNS, your banks and take your government sites down,” said a voice in the since removed video posted to an Anonymous YouTube channel, according to several reports. "After the root DNS we will start to hit your airports, military assets and private state connections,” it added. “We will destroy your critical banking infrastructure."

Earlier this month, Turkish servers were bombarded for more than a week with some of the most intense cyberattacks in the country’s history. The servers were under fire from a series of distributed denial-of-service (DoS) attacks, in which hackers attempt to crash websites with massive volumes of fake traffic. “The attack left more than 400,000 websites down in Turkey,” said security research firm Radware in a blog post this week. The government eventually had to cut off all foreign Internet traffic coming to “.tr” websites, the domain for Turkey, to mitigate the assault, Radware said.

Turkey has faced criticism for not proactively going after ISIS, especially given its geographic proximity to Syria and Iraq. President Obama has publicly pressed the country to better secure its border with Syria. U.S. officials have also expressed frustration that Turkey is not policing the oil-smuggling trade that goes through Turkey and helps fund the extremist fighters. Anonymous has jumped on these details as evidence that Turkey is “supporting ISIS.” "Stop this insanity now, Turkey,” the group said in the video. “Your fate is in your hands."

US, Allies Target ISIS Oil Facilities to Disrupt Financing
Dec 24, 2015 | U.S. and coalition warplanes have ramped up airstrikes to cut off Islamic State oil revenue estimated at more than $1 million daily while international efforts to stop the money laundering have lagged behind, U.S. and Pentagon officials.

On Dec. 19, more than 20 fighters, bombers and attack aircraft from the U.S. and two coalition partners carried out "the largest deliberate or pre-planned strike that the coalition has conducted" against oil targets of the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria, or ISIS, said Army Col. Steve Warren, a spokesman for Combined Joint Task Force-Operation Inherent Resolve. The airstrikes with more than 150 munitions hit five gas and oil separation points in Syria's eastern desert, and two crude oil collection points near the self-proclaimed ISIS capital of Raqqa in northeastern Syria, Warren said this week in a telephone briefing to the Pentagon from Baghdad. The strikes "dealt a significant blow" to ISIS oil revenue and demonstrated the coalition's ability to "apply pressure to ISIL across the breadth and the depth of their so-called ‘caliphate,'" Warren said, using another acronym for ISIS.

Fighters from the Islamic State group parade in their northern Syrian stronghold, Raqqa​

The targeting of ISIS oil facilities and delivery trucks has been dubbed Operation Tidal Wave II by the Pentagon. The original Operation Tidal Wave was the B-24 Liberator bomber raid on the Ploesti oil fields in Romania during World War II. As airstrikes have intensified, international efforts to block ISIS' access to financial systems have been lacking in coordination. Treasury Secretary Jack Lew, who led a meeting of world finance ministers at the United Nations Security Council last Thursday, hailed a resolution on tightening existing sanctions against ISIS but said too many member nations were failing to participate. "This resolution is a critical step, but the real test will be determined by actions we each take after adoption," Lew said after the resolution passed. "We need meaningful implementation, coordination and enforcement from each country represented here, and many others."

The resolution sponsored by the U.S. and Russia expressed "concern about the lack of implementation" of previous resolutions on the financing of both the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, and al-Qaida. The resolution also noted an "insufficient level of reporting" by member states on what they have done to implement the sanctions. In a background briefing at the Pentagon last week, a senior Obama administration official said that ISIS controls about 80 percent of the oil assets in Syria but the U.S. only has rough estimates on how much money ISIS is making off oil. The current estimate is between $40 million and $48 million per month, or about $1.5 million daily, "but I don't believe that number is accurate anymore" after the recent airstrikes, the official said. "How much lower, you're going to have to ask me again in a couple of weeks."
