Last week, hacker group Anonymous vowed to strike back at ISIS for its attacks in Paris, Beirut and other cities across the globe.
It's interesting to see how the war on ISIS has taken a digital turn. The terrorist group has been known to use social media, specifically Twitter and Telegram, to communicate.
Over the last few weeks, Telegram has shut down dozens of ISIS channels on its app, while refusing to give Governments a way around their privacy mechanisms. Similarly, Anonymous claims to have taken down hundreds of ISIS Twitter accounts, albeit without any "official" support from authorities.
