Anonymous seems to be going all out with waging war against terrorist group ISIS. Ghost Sec, a group related to the global hacktivist network, defaced a website that promotes ISIS propaganda, and replaced its contents with an advertisement for the sexual performance-enhancing drug Viagra.

"Enhance your calm; Please gaze upon this lovely ad so we can upgrade our infrastructure to give you ISIS content you all so desperately crave," the message on the hacked version of the website stated. The message added that there is just "too much ISIS" in this world, and that "too many people are into ISIS-stuff."

As part of the war against ISIS, Anonymous recently took down the terrorists' main communication forum. However, such acts are said to have pushed ISIS towards moving some of their operations to the 'dark web'.

These activities are counterproductive, the FBI and CIA already have troubles, taking the lot to the dark net is dangerous for us all. The terrible attacks in Paris highlight just how low and dangerous/evil this scum will go.

Re: Ghost Sec they've stated that they would not waste time taking down web pages via DDOS attacks, but monitor and filter traffic and forum posts to provide security services info on the tommorrow. Anonymous are the ones wasting time.

Thank you for the share @Ben10. Initially this article brought a brief smile to my face. .
Then, as I contemplated possible repercussions in the larger scope of these horrible acts which have caused injury injury to so many innocents, I read Tony Cole's concerns; and considered how we are, each of us, far more than mere observers.

In hacking there is no more any other option but just let the webpage take it down, as we all know that the next for ISIS step is migrate to dark web.

You know in technology, there are so many flaws already to take on; so let Anonymous do their work as long they will realise if its totally incompetent.
