Islamic State-linked hackers post target list of New Yorkers
reuters ^ | 4/29/16

Posted on 04/29/2016 4:36:16 PM PDT by StCloudMoose

A group of hackers linked to Islamic State has posted online a list of thousands of New York residents and urged followers of the militant group to target them, according to a source with knowledge of the matter. Federal agents and New York City police officers have been contacting the individuals on the list to inform them of the posting, but the source said law enforcement does not believe there is any credible threat. In a statement, the Federal Bureau of Investigation said, "While our standard practice is to decline comment on specific operational and investigative matters, the FBI routinely notifies individuals and organizations of information collected during the course of an investigation that may be perceived as potentially threatening in nature." The list includes names, home addresses and email addresses. Some of the information appears to be outdated, according to the source, who was not authorized to discuss the investigation publicly. Last year, an Islamic State-related group posted what it claimed were names, addresses and photos of 100 U.S. military service members and called upon followers to kill them. The militant group controls swaths of territory in Syria and Iraq and has claimed responsibility for several major attacks in various countries, including coordinated attacks in Paris in November that killed 130 people. U.S. authorities have arrested more than 70 individuals for attempting to support Islamic State since 2013.

With all this sophisticated spying they do ‘to keep us safe from terrorism’, why can’t they round up these people who are doing this? Why make an assumption that it is not ‘a credible threat’ - how can they possibly know what their intentions are?

If this was Johnny White Boy in an apartment on 86th Street doing this, the FBI and DHS would be knocking down his door in a New York minute.

Or is it because the surveillance is used for purposes other than what is purported?

Maybe they can go to their liberal leaders and demand a CC permit! Good luck with that!

I’ll guess that “thousands of New York residents” means thousands of people with Jewish surnames.

Heaven forbid that the MSM should inform American news readers that ISIS is a violent mob of Jew hating racists.

What’s assinine about it? They elected these morons who now refuse to let them protect themselves, and I’m supposed to feel badly for them? I don’t think so. They made their beds and they can lie in them. I’m sorry if any Freepers have to suffer but they can take the following advice from the late Sam Kinason and “MOVE...F’ing MOVE!”
