    Anonymous posts success against IS
    Credits:
  • Anonymous- the collective hackers declared their first success against the IS.

    The group's Twitter account @opparisofficial proclaimed that "more than 5,500 IS Twitter accounts had been taken down."

    However, security experts are skeptical as the intelligence agencies prefer that IS operatives remain "effective on social media where they can be seen", and monitored rather than "have them disappear into the dark web."
