Anonymous Hacker Group Claims It's Eliminated 5,500 ISIS Twitter Accounts
RUSH: There's a hacking group called Anonymous. They're a loosely based connection of hackers. Some of them are white hat, but most of them are black hat hackers. But they do some white hat work trying to expose vulnerabilities so people can close them. But for the most part, they're trying to expose problems in computer networks and exploit them. And they have thrown down against ISIS. Do you realize this Anonymous hacker group has had more provocative language toward ISIS than Barack Obama has?
They declared cyber war! Anonymous has declared cyber war on ISIS after the Paris attacks on Friday. And their effort, they say, is to totally disrupt the ISIS computer network and expose it and penetrate it so that it is no longer secure. Today there's news from TheHill.com: "Anonymous is claiming it has eliminated 5500 ISIS Twitter accounts." Stop and think of this. In the United States, Barack Obama cannot give a speech and tell us how many ISIS installations they've taken out. All Obama it do is give a speech and say, "I don't like this leadership.
"America winning? No, no, no, no, no, no. That's not what I'm about. That's not gonna help anything here. That kind of sloganeering, that's not what I'm about. We're not into that." He first said that about Afghanistan in 2009. (summarized) "Yeah, I don't like this concept of American victory. When I hear that, I think of poor Emperor Hirohito being marched to the battleship Missouri and being forced to sign surrender papers. That's just bad. We don't want to humiliate people that way. I'm not interested in that."
He said this yesterday. I'm not making this up. We played the sound bites yesterday. But yet Anonymous has declared cyber war. They claim they're going to totally disrupt everything about ISIS' computer operation, and they claim that they have now taken down over 5000 -- actually now 5500 -- ISIS computer accounts. "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.'"
ISIS has responded and called them idiots.
ISIS has responded to Anonymous, referring to them as idiots.
