Several Twitter accounts belonging to the Islamic State (ISIS) online group were hacked yesterday and were posting gay messages with links to gay porn.
A hacker affiliated with Anonymous and using the alias WauchulaGhost, launched the first hack on ISIS Twitter accounts months ago.
In space that, he – in addition to hackers Ebony and Yeti – has managed to take control of over 200 Twitter accounts belonging to ISIS supporters.
Many of them, however, have since been removed from Twitter as they tend to delete propaganda accounts.
Μετά τους πυροβολισμούς στο νυχτερινό κέντρο Pulse στο Orlando την περασμένη Παρασκευή, οι hackers που είχαν πρόσβαση στους λογαριασμούς του ISIS, άρχισαν να αντικαθιστούν τα μηνύματα προπαγάνδας με pictures and rainbow flags, but also messages and links that led to same-sex porn.
Hackers, however, want to be clear that they did not use porn with the intent of insulting Muslims but clarifying that they are targeting jihadi extremists. "
WauchulaGhost told Newsweek:
"I did it for the lives lost in Orlando. "ISIS accounts were spreading and praising the attack, so I thought I would defend those who were lost."
