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.
