An online ghetto develops between Islamists and pro-Westerns hackers. Anonymous days ago #OpCharlieHebdo began as a reaction to the terrorist attacks in Paris.
Western activists are currently trying to wipe out Muslim accounts from Twitter, as well as to hit websites related to terrorism.
Anons claim their first success with a hit against the ansar-alhaqq.net website, a French-speaking Jihad forum.
In response, Islamist hackers managed to distort several French websites. A group calling itself the United Islamic Cyber Force has ridiculed Anonymous in various guises and called on other Muslim hackers to join the "OpFrance" hacking campaign.
The team United Islamic Cyber Force (uicforce) and others like FallaGa, the most organized group set up by 2013, have made significant hits on French websites.
A notable victim is the website of the open source application Notepad++, which angered Muslim hackers by releasing a version of software of her who said: “Je suis Charlie.” The website was quickly restored, but the event leaves us with many questions as the mention of a Je Suis Charlie does not offend the prophet of Islamists. We have probably reached times when freedom of speech is not a right.
Defacements are usually the online equivalent of vandalism, since the goal is to completely destroy the website. Of course, such an attack can be much more serious if the hackers "plant" malicious software on the website they breached.
