Anonymous is really stepping up its cyberwar campaign against ISIS.
First they were releasing names of suspecting Islamic State supporters, then they helped shut down over 20,000 pro-ISIS Twitter accounts and then they published a documents showing how anyone could do some DIY hacking on the terror group.
Then things really jumped up a notch when the hacktivist group said it was planning to use one of the internet’s oldest gags in the fight against ISIS propaganda online – spamming terror supporters with some good old fashioned Rickrolling.
For the uninitiated, it’s basically where you trick someone into clicking on a video of Rick Astley’s 1987 hit ‘Never Gonna Give You Up’.
This is what the official @OpParisOfficial tweeted last week signalling their devious plans…

Well now it looks like the fun and games has begun with Anonymous members releasing the first verified ISIS-linked hashtag to spam.
