'Anonymous'
Hackers Declare War on ISIS in Video Message
by Holly
Ellyatt, CNBC
The
hacker group Anonymous has apparently responded to the
attacks on Paris by posting a video declaration of war against ISIS.
In the as-yet-unverified video, posted on YouTube, a
spokesperson wearing the group's signature Guy Fawkes mask said the group of
hackers would use its expertise to wage "war" on the militant group.
"Expect massive cyber attacks. War is declared. Get
prepared," the announcer says in French.
"Anonymous from all over the world will hunt you
down. You should know that we will find you and we will not let you go. We will
launch the biggest operation ever against you," the spokesperson
continued, according to translated transcripts of the video.

Airstrikes on ISIS Stronghold in Syria
ISIS operates in parts of Syria and Iraq in its mission
to establish a caliphate, but has recently orchestrated more attacks abroad,
the latest being Friday's
attack on various bars, restaurants and a concert hall venue in
Paris.
A manhunt has begun in Europe to find those that helped
the attackers, most of whom wore suicide belts. France retaliated at the
weekend by launching more airstrikes against ISIS positions in Syria.
In Anonymous' latest video, the masked spokesperson says
in French that "the French people are stronger than you and will come out
of this atrocity even stronger," although the video was not on the group's
official channel.
However, a tweet from the group's official Twitter
account on Sunday said the group was at war with Daesh, — another name for
ISIS.
The hacker group rose to prominence after a series of
cyber attacks against individuals, governments and organizations that it does
not approve of, including PayPal, Mastercard and the Church of Scientology,
among numerous others.
