Hacking group Anonymous has taken down more than 1,000 Islamic State websites in just three days, it emerged today.
The militant Islamist organisation has a huge social media presence, with accounts on Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and Instagram.
ISIS uses the social media accounts to recruit new members and spread propaganda.
But through its Operation ISIS - #OpISIS - the hacking group has been targeting the terrorist group's online presence.
The group celebrated its campaign with a video message showing its notorious Guy Fawkes mask.
It also warned: "ISIS, we will hunt you, take down your sites, accounts, emails and expose you.
"You will be treated like a virus, and we are the cure. We own the internet."
Speaking to The Sun, Middle East expert Mark Almond said: "If you cut off the supply line by which people are being brain-washed unto joining ISIS, the group will start to run short of manpower and crumble.
Why didnt the CIA think of doing this to ISIS first?
