Hacktivist group Anonymous is said to be planning a series of cyber attacks against countries it accuses of arming and abetting the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS) militant jihadist group.
According to
Forbes, the Anonymous campaign will be called Operation NO2ISIS. The hackers will attempt to subdue three countries they suspect have been financing and arming ISIS. A source told
Forbes that they plan a distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack aimed at rendering government websites inoperable. The source said Anonymous had plans to “unleash” its “entire legion” upon the three targeted states.
The Sunni Muslim Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is said to be one of the targets of the upcoming cyber attack. Saudi Arabia has often been accused of financing not just ISIS but also other radical jihadi such as Al Qaeda and the Al Nusra Front in Syria.
