#Anonymous fights online war against ISIS

The hacking group known as Anonymous has claimed responsibility for targeting hundreds and Twitter accounts and thousands of Facebook pages and dozens of email addresses because of their connections to ISIS according to CNN on Friday.

Their campaign is called Operation ISIS or OpISIS. Last month Anonymous made a declaration of war against ISIS extremists last month in a YouTube video, saying they would track down their websites and social media accounts and take them down. Anonymous posted a video Friday warning ISIS that they will be treated like a virus and they are the cure. They ended the video by saying we own the Internet.

Anonymous hacker group declares war against ISIS

"We are students, administrators, workers, clerks, unemployed, rich, poor. We are young, or old, gay or straight. We wear smart clothes or Uggs. We come from all races, countries, religions, and ethnicity. United as one, divided by zero. We are Anonymous.”

This latest hack has the potential of delivering a major blow to ISIS online media strategy.

ISIS has utilized the power of social media to recruit, issue threats and posting killings. Late Tuesday, a group that identified itself as the 'CyberCaliphate' hacked into Newsweek's Twitter account to promote its propaganda.

Dazed Digital reported that Anonymous released hundreds of social media accounts that were identified as Islamic militants and posted them to a Pastebin link.

International Business Times reported that at least one ISIS sympathizer threatened to kill members of Anonymous if the group continues its campaign.

Anonymous has gone from a threat to governments and businesses and now have been dubbed “The Digilantes.” Anonymous have identified themselves as a multi-ethnic group consisting of Muslims, Christians and Jews.

ISIS which is abbreviation for the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria, started as an al Qaeda splinter group, fighting to created an Islamic state across Iraq and Syria. They have taken over large parts of northern and western Iraq and has publicly executed their captives as well as recently burning alive a Jordanian pilot.

#Anonymous Hackers Expose Child Sex Abusers

The network says it will publish information - including details of "torture and murder" - as part of 'Operation Death Eaters'.

 By Tom Parmenter,

Activist network Anonymous is planning a day of action to expose establishment child abuse and cover ups.

The group, best known for high-profile computer hacks, has codenamed its latest task 'Operation Death Eaters' and is demanding an end to secrecy around abuse networks.

It says it will collect and then publish mass information on abuse scandals in the UK and around the world in the hope of ensuring people are fully aware of "paedo-sadist" abuse.

A London-based activist, who uses the pseudonym Jake Davis, told Sky News: "This isn't a situation where we are looking to create mayhem. It's about giving the public information so we can confront these problems that go back decades.

"The stories that are coming out are the torture and murder of children with our trusted politicians and that is unacceptable.

"You have to ask: Why are they protecting them?"

The group has recently published videos to YouTube promising to expose "paedo-sadists" and warning abusers that they should have been "expecting us".

There are concerns though about Anonymous' plan to expose abusers and whether its activities may hamper ongoing investigations - potentially putting children at further risk.

Former head of the Child Exploitation and Online Protection centre (CEOP), Jim Gamble, told Sky News: "It's fraught with so many difficulties.

"If there are people that have skills and abilities within Anonymous who actually want to do something positive to help law enforcement and others to inhibit paedophiles operating so freely online, then coming forward and working in some kind of framework would be great.

"But in the absence of that framework then there is the chance there could be some reckless disclosure, and from that reckless disclosure lives, and innocent lives, could be ruined.

"People make mistakes. We, during my time in law enforcement, made mistakes.

"We had information that we thought meant one thing and when we got to the back end of it, it actually meant something different.

"So jumping to conclusions, sharing information that hasn't been verified and doing it in a mass public way is going to have a far bigger downside than the deterrents on the upside will be."

Anonymous said activists were due hand out flyers on its day of action at events later in Glasgow, London, Leeds, Rochdale and Birmingham.

Co-ordinator Heather Marsh told Sky News the purpose of Operation Death Eaters is to open people's eyes to the scale of abuse networks.

She said: "We need the database to connect all news articles and court cases because we cannot visualise a beach if we are only ever presented with isolated grains of sand."

Earlier this week the group claimed to have closed down Twitter and Facebook accounts used by Islamic State (IS) terrorists, also known as ISIS.

Another new video posted to YouTube warned: "ISIS, we will hunt you, take down your sites, accounts, emails and expose you."

Its campaign against jihadists' websites started after the shootings at Charlie Hebdo magazine in Paris.

A National Crime Agency spokesman said: "We understand anyone wanting to help protect children, but would always urge against any action which might jeopardise existing law enforcement investigations or other public inquiries.

"Anybody who thinks they have information relating to child sexual exploitation or abuse can report it to the NCA's CEOP Command via our website."

Genghis Khan-style cruelty of Isis shows Jordan and Japan exactly what the militants think of them

The tens of thousands of Sunni Muslims who had demanded the pilot be freed now know what their fellow Muslims in Syria and Iraq had in mind for him.

So they burned him in hellfire. That was what Islamic State (Isis) wanted to show the world. This was Genghis Khan-style cruelty.

First, Isis forced the Jordanians and the Japanese to acknowledge its power - by offering a Japanese journalist as bait for negotiations - and then showed the Jordanian king and the Japanese prime minister what it thought of them. The Jordanians had demanded proof that Flt Lt Muath al-Kasaesbeh was alive, and they were given their evidence – as he was led into his cage of fire. The Syrian military could have warned King Abdullah of Jordan what to expect: months ago, Isis put captive Syrian soldiers to the torch – and then barbecued their heads on video. And no-one said a word.

For King Abdullah, who had offered the failed al-Qaeda suicide-bomber Sajida al-Rishawi as payment for al-Kasaesbeh’s life, there may, most dreadfully, be advantage in the burning alive of his young pilot. Those tens of thousands of Jordanian Sunni Muslims who had demanded he free al-Kasaesbeh now know what their fellow Muslims in Syria and Iraq had in mind for him. But who among the Arabs will not now also question the cost of supporting the American war against Isis?

the West — where we have almost run out of clichés of loathing – we will describe this Isis version of burning-at-the-stake as barbarous, heinous, inhuman, apocalyptic, animal, etc. But Muslims may reflect that among the first verses of the Koran is a warning to them, of the “grievous chastisement” to be visited upon those who only pretend to believe, the ‘monafaqin’, those who lie to themselves, who are not ‘true believers’.

There are the true believers, of course. There are the non-believers. But then there are the ‘pretenders’, who will suffer – and here I use Tarif Khalidi’s latest translation of Islam’s holiest book – “painful punishment”.

Of which – and the clergy of the European Middle Ages would agree – the fires of hell are most painful of all. But many Muslims may see, in Isis's’ frightful action, one awful misdirection of God’s message. For it is God who must visit the ‘pretenders’ with punishment.

God is the judge on the day of judgement.

Not Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi or the Isis media men who filmed the cage and the poor man writhing in torment within under the torrent of petroleum.

It is, of course, for the Muslim world to decide on this strange interpretation, but there will be ruthless leaders aplenty – Bashar al-Assad of Syria comes to mind, now that we have decided that his enemies are even more horrible than him – who will benefit from the cruelty of the last few hours. Long before Isis butchered the Iraqi army and Iraq’s Shias, and put the Christian and Yazidi peoples to flight, it was chopping up the corpses of the Syrian government’s supporters and sending videotapes of their decapitation to their families before releasing them to a public which largely preferred to look aside. It is not Isis which has changed. It is us.

Our intolerance of the autocrats of the Middle East – of the al-Sissis and al-Assads, of the Hashemite monarchy, of the quivering princes of the Gulf, even of the Supreme Leader of Iran, Ayatollah Khamenei – is already mutating in the face of the Caliphate. All must surely become our ‘moderates’ again, those who wish to ‘unite against terror’ now that we gaze upon the fires of hell in Raqaa and Mosul.

For Isis, their Muslim enemies must, by definition, be traitors to their faith. And so we may re-read the Khalidi translation with special care. “And if someone says to them: ‘Do not sow discord in the earth,’ they answer: We are merely trying to bring people together”.

Which is what the ‘moderates’ say, of course. And poor Flt Lt al-Kasaesbeh, in his agony.

Jordan hangs two Iraqi militants in response to pilot's death

(Reuters) - Jordan hanged two Iraqi jihadists on Wednesday including a female militant in response to an Islamic State video showing a captured Jordanian pilot being burnt alive by the hardline group.

Islamic State had demanded the release of the woman, Sajida al-Rishawi, in exchange for a Japanese hostage whom it later beheaded. Sentenced to death for her role in a 2005 suicide bomb attack in Amman, Rishawi was executed at dawn, a security source and state television said.

Jordan, which is part of the U.S.-led alliance against Islamic State, has promised an "earth-shaking response" to the killing of its pilot, Muath al-Kasaesbeh, who was captured in December when his F-16 crashed over northeastern Syria.

Jordan also executed a senior al Qaeda prisoner, Ziyad Karboli, an Iraqi man who was sentenced to death in 2008.

The fate of Kasaesbeh, a member of a large tribe that forms the backbone of support for the country's Hashemite monarchy, has gripped Jordan for weeks and some Jordanians have criticised King Abdullah for embroiling them in the U.S.-led war that they say will provoke a militant backlash.

King Abdullah cut short an official visit to the United States on Tuesday. In a televised statement to the nation, he urged national unity and said the killing was a cowardly act of terror by a criminal group that has no relation to Islam.

There was widespread shock and anger in Jordan at the brutality of a killing that drew international condemnation.

Kasaesbeh's father said the two executions were not enough and urged the government to do more to avenge his death.

"I want the state to get revenge for my son's blood through more executions of those people who follow this criminal group that shares nothing with Islam," Safi al-Kasaesbeh told Reuters.

"Jordanians are demanding that the state and coalition take revenge with even more painful blows to destroy these criminals," he said.

The Jordanian army has vowed to avenge his death, and some analysts believe it could escalate its involvement in the campaign against Islamic State, which has seized large areas of Iraq and Syria, Jordan's neighbours to the north and east.

In the pilot's home village of Ay, mourners said Jordanians must rally around the state. "Today we put our differences behind us and rally behind the king and nation," said Jabar Sarayrah, a shopkeeper.

The prisoners were executed in Swaqa prison, 70 km (45 miles) south of Amman, just before dawn, a security source who was familiar with the case said. "They were both calm and showed no emotions and just prayed," the source added without elaborating.

JORDAN'S ROLE

Rishawi, in her mid-forties, was part of an al Qaeda network that targeted three Amman hotels in suicide bombings in 2005. She was meant to die in one of the attacks - the worst in Jordan's history - but her suicide bomb belt did not go off.

Jordan said on Tuesday the pilot had been killed a month ago. The government had been picking up intelligence for weeks that the pilot was killed some time ago, a source close to the government said.

Disclosing that information appeared to be an attempt to counter domestic criticism that the government could have done more to strike a deal with Islamic State to save him.

"The horror of the killing, the method of killing is probably going to generate more short-term support for the state," said a Western diplomat. "But once that horror dies down, inevitably some of the questions revert on Jordan’s role in the coalition."

The Jordanian pilot is the first from the coalition known to have been captured and killed by Islamic State.

Jordan is a major U.S. ally in the fight against hardline Islamist groups and hosted U.S. troops during operations that led to the invasion of Iraq in 2003. It is home to hundreds of U.S. military trainers bolstering defences at the Syrian and Iraqi borders, and is determined to keep the jihadists in Syria away from its frontier.

Jordanian state television broadcast archive footage of military manoeuvres with patriotic music, with a picture of Kasaesbeh in uniform in the corner of the screen.

U.S. officials said on Tuesday the pilot's death would likely harden Jordan's position as a member of the coalition against Islamic State.

The Syrian government condemned the killing and urged Jordan to cooperate with it in a fight against Islamic State and the al Qaeda-linked Nusra Front in Syria. The United States has ruled out Syria as a partner in the campaign against Islamic State, describing President Bashar al-Assad as part of the problem.

The executed woman came from Iraq's Anbar province bordering Jordan. Her tribal Iraqi relatives were close aides of the slain Jordanian leader of al-Qaeda in Iraq, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, from whose group Islamic State emerged.

Islamic State had demanded her release in exchange for the life of Japanese journalist Kenji Goto. However, Goto was beheaded by the group, video released last Saturday showed.

Jordan had insisted that they would only release the woman as part of a deal to free the pilot.

Bizarre bare booty picture of Kim Kardashian smoking a cigarette leaks online

She's not known for being shy and retiring but an alleged new picture of Kim Kardashian will shock even her most devoted fans.

The picture, which it is claimed is from Love magazine's edgy new shoot with the reality TV star, shows a naked Kim, bent over with her famous derriere facing the camera.

However, what is probably most surprising about the seriously raunchy picture is that Kim, wearing nothing but a jacket, stockings and heels, is smoking.

The mother-of-one famously rarely drinks and is a non-smoker but the cigarette fits the 'edgy' theme of the shoot.

Love magazine has not released that particular image, which leaked on Kardashian fan accounts online.

It is unclear if it is from their recent shoot, styled by editor Katie Grand and shot by Steven Klein.

MailOnline has reached out to Kim's publicist for comment.

The image has been generating a huge amount of buzz on Twitter and online, with sites including The Huffington Post, the New York Daily News and Entertainment Tonight running it.

And even Paper magazine, which fans of Kim will be well aware of, ran the image.

Of course, Kim, who shot to fame when a sex tape featuring her and ex-boyfriend Ray J leaked online, is no stranger to posing naked and last year 'broke the internet' with a seriously risque shoot for Paper magazine.

After first revealing her bare bottom in all its glory, Kim then went one step further and posed full frontal in two extremely risqué shots from her much-talked about Jean-Paul Goude shoot.

The images made no attempt at discretion as the naked Kim faced the camera front on, grinning happily.

And if anyone wondered if Kim had to be talked into posing for the naked shot, they can think again.

In an interview published on Yahoo Style, Paper's editorial director Mickey Boardman explained that it was all Kim's idea.

'Kim’s attitude was "if we’re gonna do it, let’s really go there,"' he said.

'And it was her idea to take off her clothes and show more than her butt. But we [Paper] didn’t say "let’s do a cover with your butt hanging out."

'She said she was willing to take her clothes off and one thing lead to another.'

And Kim certainly showed no sign of nerves in the shoot, as she held her dress down around her knees.

In a second photo from the inside spread Kim was seen slipping out of her sparkling cocktail dress, her shining behind turned towards the camera to reveal her bare breast.

Smeared in baby oil, Kim looked delighted with herself as she smiled at the camera.

While she may be happy to flaunt her body, Kim recently revealed she has hired a nutritionist to help her shed 15 pounds.

Speaking to Entertainment Tonight, Kim explained: 'I just started seeing a nutritionist because... I eat really bad.'

She added, 'I just started to eat really healthy and work out more and just try to change my lifestyle. Especially when you have a baby, I want to know what to cook and how to cook healthier.'

Isis video purports to show death of Jordanian hostage Muath al-Kasaesbeh

A spokesman for the Jordanian armed forces has confirmed the death of a pilot captured the extremist group.

A video has been released online by Isis militants that purports to show the Jordanian pilot Muath al-Kasaesbeh being burned to death.

The video, published through official Isis media channels, shows a man in an orange jumpsuit standing upright in a cage. A burning torch is then held to a trail of oil leading to the cage before the man appears to be set alight.

A spokesman for the Jordan army has confirmed the death of Muath al-Kasaesbeh and said that the 26-year-old pilot was killed a month ago.

Lt Kasaesbeh's family have been informed of the development by the Jordanian armed forces.

The video, which is yet to be authenticated, represents a departure from previous methods of execution used by Isis.

A spokesperson for the White House National Security Council said the US was aware of the video and was working to confirm its authenticity.

"The United States strongly condemns ISIL's actions and we call for the immediate release of all those held captive by ISIL," they said, using another acronym to describe the Isis group.

"We stand in solidarity with the Government of Jordan and the Jordanian people."

President Obama said the video is another indication of the "viciousness and barbarity" of the organisation.

He added that if the video is confirmed as genuine, it would "re-double the determination" of the global coalition to destroy Isis.

UK prime minister David Cameron has issued a statement. He said: "Lieutenant Moaz al-Kasasbeh's sickening murder will only strengthen our resolve to defeat ISIL. My prayers are with his family tonight."

The spokesman for the Jordanian armed forces vowed "punishment and revenge" in a statement read on Jordanian TV.

Mamdouh al-Ameri said: "The military forces announce that the hero pilot, Muath al-Kaseasbeh, has fallen as a martyr, and ask God to accept him with the martyrs.

"While the military forces mourn the martyr, they emphasize his blood will not be shed in vain. Our punishment and revenge will be as huge as the loss of the Jordanians."

In January, Jordan reportedly threatened to expedite the trials of prisoners affiliated with Isis, some of whom may face the death penalty, if the group killed Lt Kasaesbeh.

A government spokesman, Mohammed al-Momani, previously said that the authorities were "ready to hand over the convict Sajida al-Rishawi in return for the return of our son and our hero".

A source in Amman has since told a CBC reporter that Jordan authorities have moved the Iraqi woman offered in a prisoner exchange to a prison where death sentences are carried out.

'Tom Clancy's The Division' Release Date Delayed To 2016? Could Developers Deliver What They Have Promised?

It's not new that fans are talking about a possible delay with "Tom Clancy's The Division" release date. However, a new report suggested that the game could possibly be delayed until 2016.

 "Gamers might get sad for our update about Tom Clancy's 'The Division'. A source says that the release might happen late this year. Don't get your hopes up. It would be better if we do not expect anything as some say it might be out by 2016. This game is far from being completed. If we still have to wait for more than a year, then they better make sure it will be a jaw-dropping game that will hook us for days!" Venture Capital Post noted.

Ubisoft is not keeping the game's development a secret. They have been pretty much open in the setbacks they have experienced in making the game, and have been honest to say that the latest release is far from perfect.

But as some fans previously noted, no ambitious title such us The Division has it the easy way. At one point, roadblocks need to be faced and dealt with in order to give gamers what they have promised.

One fan even commented that Ubisoft should take all the time they needed. "The world does not want an unfinished, half ass game . ... *mhgmm cough* Destiny*"

Do you share the same sentiment?

Meanwhile, there was a ray of hope when Ubisoft Canada teased about the possible "Tom Clancy's The Division" release date for PS4 and Xbox One on their Facebook page.

"We've got two Clancy games coming this year... Which one are YOU most excited for? Rainbow Six Siege or The Division?" The Facebook post read.

The post however still failed to mention any exact dates as of the moment.

Stay tuned for more "Tom Clancy's The Division" release date for PS4 and Xbox One updates here!
