The hacking group Anonymous appears to have declared war on the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) in the wake of Friday’s devastating terror attacks on Paris.
In an unverified video posted on YouTube on Saturday, a spokesperson wearing the group’s signature Guy Fawkes mask warned the group “war is declared” and to expect “major cyberattacks.”"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 said in French.
ISIS on Saturday claimed responsibility for the deadly attacks that killed 129.
Anonymous made similar threats following the attacks on the satirical French newspaper Charlie Hebdo in January. The group in February posted hundreds of social media accounts and websites that it claimed were affiliated with the jihadist group.
The hacking collective launched a series denial-of-service attacks on ISIS sites, flooding the pages with phony traffic to disable them. Many of the Twitter accounts the group outed were ultimately suspended.

Threatening to do their biggest cyber attack ever on ISIS. I say more power to them.

The cynic in me has to wonder why all these people are now so energized against ISIS. The mass slaughter of Kurds and Yizidi was just a big yawnsville, I guess.
I'm wondering if all the KKK privacy rights warriors are going to attack anyone backing Anonymous in this thread? We'll see.

If Anonymous released a list of all of the ISIS members it had found,
that information would have to be verified is some other way, before it could be actionable.
While a person being a member of the KKK may not be illegal in and of itself, I am not sure
the same could be said of a ISIS member.

When's the last time the KKK killed a bunch of people? According to the Internet the KKK has killed 1937 people (black and white) since 1865, none since the 1980's. Do I think that makes the KKK angels? NO, but let's consider time and perspective. How many people has ISIS and al Qaeda killed?
It would be interesting to see how bad they can disrupt them. Reports are surfacing that ISIS has been maintaining communication through the PS4 network, of all things.
