Anonymous Paris declares war on ISIS

"FRENCH hackers from the activist group Anonymous have declared “war” on the Islamic State after the Paris attacks.

In a video posted on YouTube, a representative wearing a hood and the group’s distinctive Guy Fawkes mask said the violence that left 129 people dead “can’t go unpunished”.

The statement said: “That’s why Anonymous activists from all over the world will hunt you down. Yes, you, the vermin who kill innocent victims, we will hunt you down like we did to those who carried out the attacks on Charlie Hebdo.

“So get ready for a massive reaction from Anonymous. Know that we will find you and we will never let up.

“We are going to launch the biggest ever operation against you - expect very many cyber-attacks.

“War is declared. Prepare yourselves. Know this, the French people are stronger than you and will come out of this atrocity even stronger.”

Also of interest - and quite informative to this non-gamer - is this article about how "below the radar" communication can take place by using online games as a meet up venue.

My first introduction to this was when I heard a nine year old grandson who was alone in the family room playing some online game at ear-splitting volume talking with someone. I went into the room and asked who he was talking to and he answered "Some other kid who is playing this game with me." I heard the other "kid" - who sounded way too old for a nine year old to be interacting with, and made my grandson get off the game immediately. Boo Hoo "But he was only 14!" "Well he sounded like an extremely mature 14 year old to me. And besides, 14 is too old for a 9 year old." End of story. End of gaming that day.

Of course I advised his mother to closely monitor this - I did not like it at all. But I would have never associated it with being a means of terrorists communicating.

There is absolutely no reason for a terrorist not to use this means. All you have to do is go online and sign in using your "gamer name" to play a game at a certain time of day or night. Scary.

And so far at least, no one is looking in this direction for nefarious activity.
