GhostSec-Busted

17:53 GMT 09.04.2015 (Updated: 14:01 GMT 10.04.2015)

The latest hacktivist operation, dubbed #OpISIS, took aim at the online resources of internet-savvy Islamic State propagandists. An Anonymous faction known as GhostSec exposed a list of websites used by ISIL for propaganda and recruitment along with the companies - many based in the US and Europe - hosting them.

The hackers note that US-based Cloudflare is the "by far worst offender" on the list, which also includes Yahoo!, Google and GoDaddy. OVH, the largest web hosting service in Europe, and LeaseWeb also make an appearance on the list.

To date, as part of their cyber campaign against IS, Anonymous claims to have attacked more than 200 websites, and "destroyed" 85 of them.
