Anonymous group takes down Isis website, replaces it with Viagra ad and message to calm down

Source: Independent

A group associated with Anonymous has hacked into an Isis supporting website, replacing it with a message to calm down alongside an advert for an online pharmacy.

Isis sites have been moving onto the dark web in an attempt not to be discovered. But a hacking group called Ghost Sec, which is related to Anonymous, took the site down and replaced it with a message telling readers that there was “Too Much ISIS”.

“Enhance your calm,” the full message read. “Too many people are into this ISIS-stuff. Please gaze upon this lovely ad so we can upgrade our infrastructure to give you ISIS content you all so desperately crave.”


Anonymous ‘Operation Isis’ accused of wrongly naming innocent people
The ad — which linked to an online pharmacy where payments can be made in bitcoin, and which appears to be hosted by the hacking group — would allow people to click through to by online prescription drugs, including Prozac and Viagra.

Hey, YMMV. I find the Viagra ad-joke to work very well. If you have another suggestion, then I'm sure that Anonymous would love to hear from you.

Natter natter natter.

I have to revisit that thread and see if the naysayers are the same that gnash their teeth at Edward Snowden.

A friend of mine suggests that if we just dropped tons of laptops loaded with games and porn, guys like this would be too occupied to keep doing stupid violent things in real life.

I think he's right.

I cannot applaud these guys if they think somehow France is more deserving of revenge than not only America against Islamic terrorists, but the other countries that have been afflicted.
