Group Anonymous Publishes Details Of ISIS Recruiters And Takes Down 5,500 Twitter Accounts.

The Group Anonymous has begun publishing
the names and addresses of alleged ISIS
recruiters after they declared war against the
Islamic State in the wake of the Paris attacks,
vowing to silence extremist propaganda and
expose undercover operatives.

Now it has leaked details of at least five
men it claims are recruiters for the terror group,
as well as taking down 5,500 Twitter accounts.

Mirror Online reports that they have seen the
names, addresses and phone numbers of men living
in countries including Afghanistan, Tunisia and
Somalia.

Anonymous activists also claimed to have identified
a "high-ranking" recruiter living in Europe, but have
not yet published an address.

We have contacted some of the men who have been
named, but they have not replied and we have
been unable to verify if the allegations
against them are true.

Some Anonymous spokesmen claimed to have closed
down a total of 5,500 ISIS supporters' Twitter
accounts, whilst others put the figure at 900.

Hitting these accounts is seen as a way of shutting
down the ISIS recruitment and propaganda machine.

A group of hackers called GhostSec is also working
feverishly to identify the Paris attackers.

Anonymous is now compiling a massive list of Twitter
accounts and web pages ahead of a large cyber-assault
due to take place later this evening.

It is expected to use a digital weapon called a
"DDoS" to shut down websites.
