ISIS Counter-Attack Anonymous

Islamic State are hitting back at Anonymous hacktivists 

After last month’s Paris attacks, Anonymous hacktivists systematically reported all Daesh-affiliated accounts on social media, leading to more than 10,000 Twitter handles being deleted.

Getting their own back, the so-called Cyber Caliphate have now released hundreds of names, email address and personal addresses of members of the US military.

They Doxed (Doxing is the act of searching for and publishing private or identifying information about individuals on the internet, usually with malicious intent), 160 people from the Army and Marines, and claim to have obtained information on around 700 armed forces personnel in total.

The Pentagon refused to comment on the leak, but security experts told CSM that the information appears to be genuine.

‘It is very likely that this is an authentic set of information,’ Michael Smith II, COO of the defence-consulting firm Kronos Security, said. ‘It does not benefit Daesh to publish false information.’

However Rita Katz, director of SITE Intelligence, had doubts about the data’s authenticity. ‘It seems that the group is taking lists from military websites, collecting information from Google, and possibly even releasing bogus information,’ she said.

But she added that, even if the information was publicly available, the release was still a concern. ‘It’s troubling that people affiliated with Daesh are seeing lists affiliated with the military, regardless of whether it is publicly available or not.’
