Anonymous Hacker Exposes U.S. Companies That Are Backing ISIS [SEE DETAILS] Famous hacktivist group Anonymous is declaring war against the Islamic State, who rely significantly on social media to recruit jihadists. The hacker group opened the battle with direct denial of service attacks, followed by a shutdown of social media accounts and websites. In their efforts, they found one obstacle that they werent expecting: businesses in Silicon Valley. Anonymous announced to the American public that Twitter and Cloudflare have been helping websites used by ISIS to defend against cyber attack like theirs. Cloudflare is a hosting service designed to help websites stay online when they are the target of DDoS, which are designed specifically to crash their sites with overwhelming traffic. The tech start-up has admitted that they dont discriminate against any users. @CloudFlare Stop Protecting #ISIS Websites We Are #Anonymous We Are Legion We Do Not Forgive We Do Not Forget Exepect US! @unanymous_1 tweeted. Once again, @CloudFlare have been found to be providing services to pro #IslamicState websites. Shameful. #OpISIS #Daesh #Anonymous @GroupAnon tweeted the next day. CEO Matthew Prince went on to criticize the group, claiming that they were once customers. Id suggest this was armchair analysis by kidsits hard to take seriously, Prince argued.Anonymous uses us for some of its sites, despite pressure from some quarters for us to take Anonymous sites offline. Even if we were hosting sites for ISIS, it wouldnt be of any use to usI should imagine those kinds of people pay with stolen credit cards and so thats a negative for us. Prince did go on to claim that he would remove a site if approached with proper legal action, but that often investigators want to keep sites up rather than take them down. What do you think? Do you support Anonymous?
