Title: Anonymous is hitting ISIS harder than any government could

I wouldn't say they are hitting them harder than any government 'could', however, they are hitting them harder than most are willing to (including our own).

The hacking collective Anonymous is on the offensive yet again, striking the Islamic State’s many proactive social media users who use sites such as Twitter and Facebook to recruit for jihad terrorism.

In a series of posts on the website Pastebin over the weekend, purported members of Anonymous vow to continue “Operation Ice ISIS,” taking down websites and social media accounts of groups who assist in terrorist activities.

This new round of online attacks is meant to target individuals who are directly involved with planning and recruiting for attacks against civilians in Iraq and Syria.

“We will hunt you, take down your sites, accounts, emails, and expose you,” said the group in a YouTube video released over the weekend. “From now on, no safe place for you online…you will be treated like a virus, and we are the cure.” The post goes on to list hundreds of links to social media accounts in Arabic, classifying them by their “priority” status.

Now if they'd only go after Hilary's private email servers so we can get all the emails, not just the cherry-picked emails.

That would be something, wouldn't it?

I believe the existence of this secret account was due to a Guccifer hack.
