The hacker group Anonymous has apparently responded to the attacks on Paris by posting a video declaration of war against ISIS.
In the as-yet-unverified video, posted on YouTube, a spokesperson wearing the group's signature Guy Fawkes mask said the group of hackers would use its expertise to wage "war" on the militant group.

And what will they do, spam them to death?
I’m sure ISIS’s servers are in trouble now /s
I expect Obama’s NSA to suddenly crack down on hackers.
Prove me wrong though, that would be enjoyable.
Wouldn’t it be amazing if this group were able to destroy the cohesiveness of ISIS and create sufficient distrust within the group to substantially impact their operations. This could also create fake operations that drive the terrorists into killing zones where they could be butchered with their heads impaled upon stakes to discourage early morning sympathizers.
Good point. And I wonder if their hacking might inadvertently get in the way of work being done by Western intelligence agencies. But if the report is true, I guess ISIS can't be happy about it.
Who knows? Maybe some nerdy Anonymous kid working in his basement somewhere just might be able to freeze up some ISIS digital accounts. Out-of-the-box thinking, and all that.
I just watched this on you-tube because our local news posted it. I don’t know about this much. If they can..go for it.
The extent of these hackers’ “war” is putting gay pornographic images on ISIS websites.
Assume Anonymous will leak the identities of ISIS members using goat dating websites.
They also declared war against firearms restrictions, and it’s still going on.
I applaud their effort, but I wonder "Is the US Cyber Command too busy on porn sites?".
It will probably turn out to be feckless, but at least they're on the right side.
Quite a novelty after the fake KKK report.
Whatever they might do is more than the Terrorist in Chief is doing.
Haha, now ISIS is being attacked by the 72 virgins!
Thread winner.
Stop posting everyone.
Now when they log onto Facebook all they’ll be able to see are pictures of naked women eating bacon.
They could wake up and find their credit rating has been slashed.
Identify all the social media profiles like Twitter accounts, Facebook accounts, etc that they use to post “look how we massacred these people!” videos and diatribes on death to the infidels and try to shut them down.
The bigger problem will be the language barrier. A video of an imam citing the koran to kill infidels and supporting ISIS is just as dangerous as the recruiting videos of “hey, come kill for us and get 2 sex slaves!” but harder to identify.
