Anonymous declares war on Isis: "the Legion does not forgive, we will find you"

13/01/15

"Tango Down". With these two words borrowed from military jargon, Anonymous hackers have communicated to the world their first massive cyber attack against ISIS, putting the French site Ansar-alhaqq.net offline, associated with Islamic extremism.

The operation also has an official hashtag "#OpCharlieHebdo" and a Twitter profile with the same acronym.

The worldwide hacker community that identifies itself under the initials Anonymous a few hours ago with a video translated into dozens of languages, announced its war on terrorism to the world.

Too shocking the images of Paris to remain helpless, ISIS will also have to fight against the Legion.

Here is the declaration of war by Anonymous

"People from all over the world, the moment is serious. On 7, January 2015, freedom of expression was attacked. The terrorists broke into the offices of the magazine Charlie Hebdo and murdered several designers, journalists and two policemen. we can't let ourselves be beaten down. It is our duty to react. We are all impressed by the deaths of Cabus, Charb, Tignous and Wolinsky, talented artists who have been slaughtered for their opinions and press freedom. Charlie Hebdo, a historical figure of satirical journalism, has been targeted by cowardly assassins. Anonymous has always fought for freedom of expression and freedom of the press. "

Revenge will not be long in coming

"We will never stop. Anonymous reminds every citizen how freedom of the press is one of the fundamental principles of democracy. It is everyone's responsibility to defend it. We have always fought for freedom of expression. We will not stop now. Attacking freedom of expression is attacking Anonymous. We don't allow it. All companies and organizations connected to these terrorist attacks expect a massive reaction from Anonymous. We'll track you down. We will find you and we will never stop. We are Anonymous. We are the Legion, We do not forgive, We do not forget. Expect us. "

The first massive cyber attack is still ongoing. According to the Anonymous site, fourteen sites linked to Islamic terrorism have been placed offline.

An attack undoubtedly orchestrated and performed by the best hackers available to Anonymous with the dual objective of stealing sensitive information and obscuring sites close to terrorists.

Most likely, cyber attacks are taking place without any obstruction on the part of governments that, in Anonymous, are finding a precious ally in the cyber war.

Meanwhile, just a few hours ago, hackers working for ISIS successfully carried out a cyber attack against the Twitter profile of the US Central Command for the Middle Eastern region, immediately put offline.

The hackers managed to publish documents from the Ministry of Defense, telephone numbers and some addresses of several high-profile officials.

The Legion, meanwhile, would have already prepared a second devastating attack against 600 sites or Twitter contacts close to ISIS already reported.
