Cyber War Against Islamic State: Anonymous Takes Down 5,500 #ISIS Twitter Accounts.

The hacking group Anonymous said Tuesday it has taken down 5,500 Twitter accounts tied to the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS). The group recently declared cyber war on ISIS in the wake of Friday’s terror attacks on Paris that claimed more than 120 lives. On Tuesday morning, “OpParis,” the team orchestrating the digital assault on ISIS, tweeted, “We report that more than 5500 Twitter account of #ISIS are now #down! #OpParis #Anonymous #ExpectUs.”

Several hours later, OpParis tweeted a link to other ISIS targets, declaring “#ISIS tries to stop us, but we’re smarter.”
The link to a post on the text-sharing site Pastebin contained the Web addresses of alleged ISIS-affiliated websites, dark Web pages, Twitter accounts, Tumblr accounts, Facebook pages and Web servers.

Also, Anonymous has begun publishing the names and addresses of alleged ISIS recruiters. Now it has leaked details of at least five men it claims are recruiters for the terror group.  Anonymous activists also claimed to have identified a "high-ranking" recruiter living in Europe, but have not yet published an address.
While Anonymous lacks any hierarchy, the group has frequently turned its hacking skills on terrorist groups.
