ISIS HACKERS THREATEN "MESSAGE TO AMERICA" CYBER ATTACK



ISIS Hackers Threaten "Message To America" Cyber Attack

By Gilad Shiloach May 11, 2015

A group of hackers threatened to carry out a cyber attack—dubbed “Message to America”— against unspecified targets in the United States at 2pm EST. Shortly after the deadline,  a video was released claiming the group had been hacked into the websites of Washington leaders, as well as Australian airports, but none were identified.

ISIS supporters calling themselves the Cyber Caliphate hacked into the Twitter account of the United States Central Command in January. And last month followers of the group defaced the website of Hobart Airport, the capital city of the state of Tasmania in southern Australia.

The video released after 2pm EST features a man wearing a hoodie and sitting before a laptop, with his face shielded. It was in Arabic with English subtitles and shared on ISIS forums. “We are the hackers of the Islamic State. The electronic war has not yet begun,” the voice said. “We observe all the movements you are making from your devices. Soon you will see how we control your electronic world.”

Along with the video, several tweets appeared under the hashtag #HellOfTheAmericanSystem
