ISIS hackers have infringed tens of thousands of Twitter accounts, including CIA and FBI members, as revenge for the attack on an unmanned US aircraft that killed a British ISIS extremist in August.
Cyber Caliphate, a hacker group founded by its member ISIS Junaid Hussain, called on her supporters and followers to hack Twitter accounts in order to avenge Hussain's death.
As a result, hackers have breached over 54.000 accounts on Twitter. Most of the accounts targeted by the jihadists appear to be from Saudi Arabia although some of them are British.
The extremists not only broke thousands of Twitter accounts but managed to gain access to personal information, including phone numbers and passwords, by the heads of:
- The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA)
- The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI)
- United States National Security Service
Hussain was a British hacker who gained a reputation through ISIS in Syria as a leading cyber specialist and as the mindset of the online war of ISIS, a US-led airplane killed him in August.
Hussain's hacker team had stopped working after his death, until he reappeared on Friday, where he posted a link to a database that contained all the details of the broken accounts. THE Cyber Caliphate account on Twitter of course he is now suspended
The incident came just a day after another hack by the group Crackas With Attitude (CWA), which she claimed to have gain access to a portal of principles of law containing personal information of those arrested in the US as well as in tools to share information about terrorist attacks and active shooters.
