Anonymous hackers’ list of ‘pro-ISIS’ Twitter accounts they claim to have taken down included BBC News, Barack Obama Hillary Clinton and host of others unrelated to terror

Anonymous hackers’ list of ‘pro-ISIS’ Twitter accounts they claim to have taken down included BBC News, Barack Obama Hillary Clinton and host of others unrelated to terror 

  • Anonymous 'hit list' claims to have disabled more than 20,000 pro-ISIS accounts
  • List includes BBC News, Barack Obama, the White House, State Department, and CNN
  • Other accounts only appear to be listed because they're in Arabic

Hacker group Anonymous' declaration of war on ISIS-related social media accounts has hit a bizarre stumbling block.

While the group released what it said was a hit list of 20,000 pro-ISIS Twitter accounts via anonymous-text sharing site Pastebin, the list actually includes accounts for US President Barack Obama, US presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, BBC News, the New York Times, CNN, and other individual journalist accounts.  

Other accounts on the 'hit list' appear to have no connection to ISIS, and say they have only been included as they are in Arabic.  

Anonymous has been disabling pro-ISIS twitter accounts since the Charlie Hebdo attacks in Paris, but have redoubled their efforts since Friday 13th, which saw 130 people die at the hands of ISIS fanatics.
