A group of hackers affiliated with ISIS are threatening to carry out a cyber attack—dubbed “Message to America”—against a number of targets 2 p.m. EST today. The targets were not identified on ISIS forums and social channels but the hackers are promising something “surprising” that “will frighten America”.

Sorry, forgot to ping you.
You made me laugh while I was eating lunch!! OMG I have never seen so many of her in one place before.
Where is Al Reqqa. Or is that just another name for IS?
They should but jug-ears won't let it happen.
“They should but jug-ears won’t let it happen.”
True. The American people will demand it WHEN civilians are killed in an atrocious attack on our soil.

It appeares on one of the ISIS follower twitter feeds. Car appears to be a small European model, but that’s just my guess.
If anyone wants to follow his feed, it’s worth it. He always seems to get insider info. @th3j35t3r
Some poster hit a nerve.
Why not?
The problem with that assessment is you are relying on the attack vector to be physical. ISIS, unlike al Qaeda, has realized the power they have with cyberattacks. Since we’re all attached around the world, it’s relatively low-cost to attack American, or Western, interests through the use of network-based attack vectors. Many of these hackers have entire fleets of compromised computers (botnets) around the world that can do their bidding. The central control mechanism is skewed by the distributed nature of the network. The damage is done by unsuspecting people around the world, and the perpetrators are never caught.
This attack is predicted to affect network-based systems, although the actual target is unclear.
Nah.............. JUST ANOTHER OBAMA SPEECH
On one hand we were warned about the foiled attack at the draw Mohamed event. IIRC, credit was taken just minutes before.
On the other hand we do not scare easily. Some because they are too stupid, ignorant, politically correct to recognize a threat. Others (count me in) who recognize the threat but refuse to allow fear dictate our lives. If the warning/threat designed to strike fear into our hearts, it is a massive failure.
Looking at the big picture, I have no doubt something is up.

Who knows? But just because the bogeyman isn't under our bed doesn't mean we should not look...just in case.
Just in case: if the grid is disrupted and the net goes down, it's been a blast. :)
Its [the country’s], “commander in chief”, a/k/a, “the people’s choice” is one of the scum. why would he want to wipe himself out?
Thank you for the explanation.
Ok, which one of you guys provoked them this time?
I wish they would.
Person of Interest, and Eagle Eye...... right there with ya.

Your “on the other hand”s remind me Fiddler on the Roof.
