Anonymous Declares War On Donald Trump — #OpTrump

After targeting the Islamic State (ISIS) group in the wake of Deadly terror attacks in Paris, hacktivist group Anonymous has now turned its attention to controversial US presidential candidate Donald Trump.

The hacktivist group has declared war against Donald Trump following his recent radical speech stating he wanted to ban Muslims from entering the United States.

Anonymous vs. Donald Trump

On Wednesday, Anonymous slams Trump by posting a YouTube video in which a man in a Guy Fawkes mask says:

"Donald Trump, it has come to our attention that you want to ban all Muslims to enter the United States. This policy is going to have a huge impact. This is what ISIS wants. The more Muslims feel sad, the more ISIS feels that they can recruit them. Donald Trump, think twice before you speak anything. You have been warned, Donald Trump."

Anonymous Takes Down Donald Trump Website

Moreover, the group started #OpTrump hacking campaign against Donald Trump on Wednesday night and took down the website for New York City's Trump Towers (www.trumptowerny.com) by hitting it with Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attacks.

The website was reportedly down for hours. However, it appears to be operational now.

While the online hacktivist group has yet to officially claim responsibility for the DDOS attack on Trump's website, Twitter users showed their full support to Anonymous and its #OpTrump campaign.

This is not the first time the group has targeted Trump. Few months ago, Anonymous broke into Trump.com in an effort to deliver Jon Stewart a message as he was about to leave The Daily Show.

As we await Anonymous's next move, the group has already declared Friday to be a day to troll ISIS, urging Twitter users to troll ISIS using the #Daeshbags hashtag.

This Hack Lets You Find Which of Your Facebook Friends Like Trump

Meanwhile, a website known as FriendsWhoLikeTrump.com has been created to show you which of your Facebook friends have "Liked" Donald J. Trump.

Clicking on the site will land you to a Facebook search feature that shows what your friends have liked, or you can achieve the same yourself by simply typing "My friends who like Donald J. Trump" in the Facebook search bar.

You will get a list of anyone in your Facebook network who has clicked "Like" on Trump's Facebook page.

Save the Date — 11th December: Anonymous to Celebrate 'ISIS Trolling Day'

After hacking and taking down social media accounts of ISIS members, the online Hacktivist group Anonymous is back again with its new plan to harass the Islamic State (IS) militant group that was behind the horrific terror attack in Paris.

Anonymous declared total war against ISIS after the last month's Paris attacks and supposedly:

• Took down thousands of Twitter and social media accounts used by the ISIS terrorists
• Disrupted the terror group's primary communications platform
• Replaced one of ISIS' websites with a Viagra ad

Now, the hacktivist group has declared December 11th to be "ISIS Trolling Day," planning an organized trolling campaign against ISIS by assaulting their image through Photoshopped images, memes, videos and jokes related to the terrorist organisation.

Vanish ISIS Online Presence

This campaign is also part of the group's ongoing effort to disrupt and dishonor the ISIS terror organization's online presence.

Western-living Muslims usually fall for ISIS' intimidating social media propaganda, so rebranding the militant group as a joke may be one of the best ideas Anonymous hackers ever had – attacking the ideas that ISIS is trying to spread online.

Anonymous has also asked netizens to be part of this trolling campaign as an effort to mock ISIS members and supporters for "the IDIOTS they are."

ISIS Trolling Day's Goals

According to a Ghostbin post, the trolling campaign will take place on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and in the real world.

"We'll show them what they really are they don't stand for a religion, they don't stand for a God, they're brainwashers teaching from the young to the old their propaganda against the 'West' when in reality they're just increasing the distance between countries by giving many a bad name," the post reads.

Here are some of the campaign goals:

• Use #Daesh or #Daeshbags (ISIS hates being called Daesh)
• Post mocking photographs of ISIS on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook
• Try to get #Daeshbags trending on Twitter
• Post photographs of captured ISIS members and mock them
• Use #'s that ISIS members use, but post mocking pictures instead
• Make insulting videos of ISIS as well
• Print out photos or stickers that mock ISIS and spread them around your city

Now, let's see what kind of real impact this campaign will make at the end of the day, but free speech and taunt can be a way more powerful tool when fighting a war of ideas.
