PJ Media:

Hacktivists began #OpISIS in earnest after January's attack on satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo and vowed to step up online operations against the terrorist group after November's Paris attacks.

 

“These attacks cannot remain unpunished. Anonymous from all over the world will hunt you down," Anonymous hackers vowed in a statement then. "You should know that we will find you and we will not let you go."

 

"We will launch the biggest operation ever against you. Expect massive cyber attacks. War is declared. Get prepared."

 

As sites have been overwhelmed by jihadist propaganda -- they use WordPress blogs, Tumblr feeds, Telegram Messenger, Facebook accounts and more -- Twitter has been trying to suspend those claiming loyalty to ISIS, al-Qaeda and other groups. Jihadis and their fans use Twitter to disseminate propaganda including daily newsletters, weekly newspapers, magazines, gory videos, photo essays and official statements including attack claims. ISIS even has its own app.
