Researchers investigating the Twitter and YouTube accounts of the US Central Office (CENTCOM) believe the hacker TeaMp0isoN, or Junaid Hussain, is the head of the CyberCaliphate team, which claims the attack.
On Monday, hackers managed to get the accounts of CENTCOM's social networks, a service that oversees various military operations around the world, as well as those conducted in the Middle East.
The CyberCaliphate team uses the Social Networks for spreading ISIS propaganda.
The damage done to CENTCOM was significant enough that important documents may not have been leaked, but the hack proved once again that no one can be safeon the internet.
Ο Junaid Hussain, 20 of years, living in Birmingham, is believed to be the central core of the group that carried out the attack, according to information published by Reuters.
He is the same person who was sentenced to six months' imprisonment for 2012 when he stole the contacts of former British Prime Minister Tony Blair with an invasion he made in his e-mail.
TRiCk was the former leader of the TeaMp0isoN team, and was then 18 years old. In an interview she gave to Softpedia, he said he was a hacker from the age of 15 years, and has since begun to fight for the rights of people in Kashmir, Palestine and Syria.
Reuters reports that the connection between Hussain and the CyberCaliphate group was revealed by a Flashpoint analyst Global enviroment Partners, μια ιδιωτική εταιρεία που ειδικεύεται στην research online attacks in government services by extremists.
Junaid Hussain appears to have been actively involved in recruiting hackers on behalf of the Islamic State terrorist organization.
The traces of Junaid Hussain are unknown at present, but news agencies reported in 2014 in June that he had resorted to Syria just after serving his six-month prison sentence.
