For months the hacktivist group Anonymous has threatened vengeance against ISIS for their terrorist attacks across the world – and this week they delivered.
Twitter accounts belonging to supporters of ISIS were hacked in response to the Orlando shooting, replacing jihadist content with gay pride messages and links to gay pornography.
“I did it for the lives lost in Orlando,” the hacker told Newsweek. “Daesh [ISIS] have been spreading and praising the attack, so I thought I would defend those that were lost. The taking of innocent lives will not be tolerated.”
Sometimes it's hard not to like these guys: "Anonymous hacks ISIS' Twitter, makes it as fabulously gay as possible": https://t.co/w8yCpSUWbG

ISIS wasn’t taking Anonymous seriously, and now they’re paying for it in the best possible way.
What do you think about the Twitter hack?
