Hacktivist group Anonymous has taken the credit for strikes on websites and social media accounts used by ISIS terrorists to recruit new members and spread propaganda.

The militant Islamist organisation has a huge social media presence, with accounts on Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and Instagram.

Through Operation ISIS - #OpISIS - the decentralised hacking group has been strategically targeting this online presence.

"ISIS, we will hunt you, take down your sites, accounts, emails and expose you," says the hacktivist group in a statement.

"You will be treated like a virus, and we are the cure. We own the internet."

In the Anonymous digital armoury are distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks, which hammer ISIS websites with traffic until they go offline, and repeatedly reporting social media accounts so they get suspended.

Other "weapons" used in #OpISIS include password cracking and phishing.

Anonymous has published a list of 800 Twitter accounts as well as Google Plus accounts, recruitment websites, Facebook accounts and email addresses that it has exposed and targeted.

The shadowy organisation also points out that it's made up of “Muslims, Christians and Jews", adding "we come from all races, countries, religions and ethnicity".

"Remember - the terrorists hat are calling themselves Islamic State (ISIS) are not Muslims!"

Anonymous has been targeting militant Islamic group with its typical digital mischief-making since June 2014 - but has up-scaled efforts in the wake of the Charlie Hebdo attack in Paris.

Despite the hacktivists' efforts, there remain a lot of ISIS accounts online and the militant group has recently released a social media guide to help members create accounts that aren't easy to detect.

ISIS also continues to wage its war of terror on the ground in Iraq and Syria.

As always, Anonymous tells us there is “more to come soon…” They also issued a reminder to ISIS and all enemies of freedom”

“And Remember, We Own The Internet… We Are Anonymous, We Are Legion, We Do Not Forgive, We Do Not Forget, Expect us.”

It would seem that Anonymous is making good on their promises.

Nice. Account suspended. Account suspended. Account suspended.

Some parts of the video made me roll my eyes, though.

But ISIS are Muslims you fucktards.

Sunnis, Shias? All the same. Watch what happens to the Sunnis when the shi'ite militias get ahold of them like they are doing now.

They enjoy killing each other. Just because they lop off heads and rape en-masse doesn't mean they aren't a certain religion. They're not Buddhists.

Nice to see them doing good.

Good effort I guess, but hardly effective. Every man and grandma, his grandma's dog and their puppy's know who ISIS are, social media isn't needed for that. If somebody was hell bent on joining ISIS, they would do it whether they've seen them on Twitter in not.

Why aren't the supposed so-called 'moderate' moo slums doing this themselves?

Hmmmm....?
