Cyber Warefare

In this modern age countries are attacking each other through Cyber Warefare. Anonymous is a hacking group and they recently have threatened to take down the terrorist organization ISIS.

 The computer-hacker federation known as Anonymous claims to have disabled at least 5,500 pro-ISIS Twitter accounts and exposed thousands of the terror group’s supporters who use the social media site. If cyber warfare is good for anything I would not be apposed to have them take down ISIS. 

The Anonymous group has claimed to be at war with ISIS after the Paris attack. Anonymous has been known for various cyber attacks throughout the years. And they aren't afraid to go up against the ISIS hacking organization. 

The article states "The hacktivist collective does this by exposing its adversaries’ Twitter accounts (and reporting them to the company) or paralyzing opposition Web sites by flooding them with online traffic. The group’s secretive nature gives it a lot of latitude for operating outside the law. " 

I'm glad cyber warfare is being put to good use and not destroying everyday ordinary people like you and me who use the internet for online shopping. I do not tolerate computer hacking for the most part and condemn 99 percent of attacks on people, this is the 1 percent I can deal with.
