According to a report by CBS San Francisco, Anonymous, the hacker activist group has struck again and this time, it has a response for the Orlando Mass Killing. The group has hacked into several Twitter handles which were Pro-ISIS and has inserted Gay pride stuff into them.
While Twitter at San Francisco didn’t agree that any such activity had taken place, it is quite obvious from the content and the leaked pictures that the account has been hacked.
“We condemn the use of Twitter to promote terrorism and the Twitter Rules make it clear that this type of behavior, or any violent threat, is not permitted on our service,” a Twitter spokesperson told CBS San Francisco on Wednesday. “Since the middle of 2015 alone, we’ve suspended over 125,000 accounts for threatening or promoting terrorist acts, primarily related to ISIS.”
The hacker @WauchulaGhost has been active in hacking such terrorist accounts at least since March 2016. Around June 7, the hacker from the same handle had posted pornographic content and slogans like “I love porn” and anonymous in the accounts of the group.
The group has claimed that it has hacked more than 1,500 ISIS twitter accounts and has also tweeted pro-ISIS accounts’ IP addresses, which included users in Turkey, the United Kingdom, Iraq, Jordan, Oman and elsewhere.
Following the shootouts the Orlando Police is still investigating this hate crime and ISIS-inspired terrorist activity, but before anything could surface Anonymous took the matters into its own hands and started to hack pro-ISIS Twitter accounts and post LGBT supporting content including rainbow flags, non-graphic gay sexual images, and slogans like “I’m gay and I’m proud.”
All the account names were changed to ” Jacked by a Ghost” and they were linked to CIA.gov. Till Wednesday afternoon, the hacker was continuously tweeting its success of hacking the handle @islamsunna111, which had an IP address based in Oman and was continuously putting in slogans like “Make love, not war” and “#MoreSex #LessDeath #ISIS #ISIL #IslamicState.”
