An international hacking organization known as Anonymous has declared cyber war on ISIS after the recent Paris attack. While technically the group has been fighting ISIS since January after the Charlie Hebdo attack, they have now officially announced their intentions. Normally it has been hard to know who Anonymous would be fighting on a week to week basis, but their motives have usually been centered around defending civil rights. I have seen links talking about "anonymous hackers" on the internet over the past few months, but I never realized that that was the actual name of the group. It is interesting to see a hacking group band together to fight against something, especially when that group doesn't seem to have any moral code to live by. It will be interesting to see how long they stay with this vendetta they have created, and what they will do afterwards when this is hopefully all over. Will they continue to fight for the common good, or will they go back to hacking whatever they want because they don't agree with something?
