Anonymous is making good on its promise of a digital battle against ISIS and has struck a blow, ridiculing the terror group with an unlikely but potent weapon — mockery. On Thursday, the Ghost Sec, a hacking group related to Anonymous, gained control of a website supporting the Islamic State and replaced it with a
Viagra advertisement. “Please gaze upon this lovely ad so we can upgrade our infrastructure to give you ISIS content you all so desperately crave,” reads the hacked version of the site, noting that there is simply “Too Much ISIS” in the world.
Before the site was completely removed, it was actually possible to purchase the sexual performance enhancing drug using bitcoins. Viagra, Ghost Sec suggested, would help “
Enhance your calm,” as “Too many people are into this ISIS-stuff.”
This is not the first move Anonymous has made against ISIS. Since posting a video following the tragedy in Paris, which promised to “unite humanity” and warned ISIS to “expect us,” the hackers have conducted a series of spam attacks against similar terrorist sites, and even managed to remove some of ISIS’ Twitter accounts.
