Till now, Anonymous have been a group of hackers with only anarchist views, but today they have set out to take down Islamic State especially those behind the Paris Terror attacks.
On Tuesday,in an operation titled Operation Paris, their twitter handle @opparisofficial announced that about 5,500 IS Twitter accounts had been taken down.
The hacker group claim that they will use their morale, experience, and our efficiency to effectively finishing off ISIS.
In an interview with a BBC Correspondent, an unidentified anonymous member said “The propaganda of ISIS is based on advertising their actions. They want to strike terror with their name, with bloody images, with violent videos.
“We cannot fight them with guns and rifles, stopping their propaganda is an effective way to weaken their manpower and their presence in the Internet. Disrupting their communications makes it difficult to organise their attacks in a fluid manner.
In 2012, Anonymous joined forces with the People’s Liberation Front and the Naija Cyber Hactivists of Nigeria during the Occupy Nigeria protests.
