Shadowy hacking group steps up cyber-conflict by revealing names and addresses of suspected ISIS zealots

Cyber war: Anonymous has vowed to wipe ISIS off the internet

Anonymous has begun publishing names and addresses of alleged ISIS recruiters.

The masked hacking group declared war against the Islamic State in the wake of the Paris attacks, vowing to silence extremist propaganda and expose undercover operatives.

Mirror Online has seen the names, addresses and phone numbers of men living in countries including Afghanistan, Tunisia and Somalia.

Anonymous activists also claimed to have identified a "high-ranking" recruiter living in Europe, but have not yet published an address.

We have contacted some of the men who have been named, but they have not replied and we have been unable to verify if the allegations against them are true.

Some Anonymous spokesmen claimed to have closed down a total of 5,500 ISIS supporters' Twitter accounts, whilst others put the figure at 900.

Hitting these accounts is seen as a way of shutting down the ISIS recruitment and propaganda machine.

A group of hackers called GhostSec is also working feverishly to identify the Paris attackers.

"We have been flooded with data," a source told us.

It is expected to use a tactic called a "DDoS attack" to shut down websites.

Yesterday, the hackers released a video which warned: "You should know that we will find you and we will not let you go."

"Expect massive cyber attacks. War is declared.

"Get prepared."

You do realize our tech people do not want them shut down or going underground. They do not want to release names to shut down any operations.

You know, I’ve wondered if this group, “Anonymous’, actually exists as a ‘Shadowy hacking group’ at all.
What if they are actually the NSA or CIA or some other country’s intel service, masquerading behind a ‘Guy Fawkes’ mask?......................

I was thinking the same thing.
What a better way for an agency to stay out of Obie's reach.
I seem to remember an article a little while ago about the FBI, NSA or CIA recruiting top level hackers and green lighting them to be creative. Not the exact words of the article, but you get the idea.
