[QUOTE="_CY_, post: 2723313, member: 7629"] Anonymous released 9,200 ISIS supporter Twitter account names to apply pressure on Twitter for suspending them March 16, 2015 The #OpISIS campaign was launched earlier this year by Anonymous, the hacker group and they claim that they have disrupted many websites, email accounts and VPN connections that were related to ISIS. This time the hacker team has been teaming up with GhostSec and Ctrlsec (two other hacker teams) and released 9,200 Twitter account names as a part of #OpISIS. A member of Anonymous involved in the operation told IBTimes: This is historic amongst the digital world as its the first time these groups have come together for something this large, Usually they are very closed off and not willing to work outside of their circles but this has become so large of a problem theyre willing to form an alliance for what is seen as a greater good. The outcome of hundreds of hackers across all three major groups is the largest compiled and verified list ever to be released to the public. The @xrsone, the Twitter account that has released the account names is highly encouraging people to share these accounts to apply pressure on Twitter to remove or suspend them as soon as possible: Massive ISIS account list of 9,200, help get them suspended and retweet! #OpIceISIS #CtrlSec #GhostSec #Anonymous [url]https://t.co/r824LEMpr1[/url] [b][Broken External Image][/b] ISIS uses what is known as swarm accounts to stay active despite Twitters suspensions. On March 2, ISIS threatened Twitter founder and other employees for blocking ISIS supporter accounts. A published article from Foreignpolicy written by Emerson Brooking, has some interesting ideas for fighting against ISIS online activities. The article is titled The U.S. Government Should Pay Anonymous in Bitcoin to Fight ISIS which clearly explains itself: How is it that the US government, capable of coordinating a complex air campaign from nearly 6,000 miles away, remains virtually powerless against the Islamic States online messaging and distribution network? If the United States is struggling to counter the Islamic States dispersed, rapidly regenerative online presence, why not turn to groups native to this digital habitat? Why not embrace the efforts of third-party hackers like Anonymous to dismantle the Islamic State and even give them the resources to do so?
