Riyadh, (IINA) - A Saudi hacker group called "Cyber of Emotion" has exposed several ISIS online users and revealed their identities, Saudi Gazette reported.
The group launched its anti-ISIS campaign on Monday, September 28 and has so far revealed several ISIS supporters who are living in Saudi Arabia. The leader of the hacker group told Al-Watan newspaper that the majority of ISIS supporters in the kingdom were women. The group hacked into multiple ISIS email accounts and showed that that the terrorists are having love affairs with the women who support them.
The leader also revealed that the team is receiving death threats from ISIS. He said: “We targeted them specifically to try to stop their dangerous and deviant ideas from spreading in the Saudi society. Young men who never traveled abroad were involved in most of the terrorist attacks in the Kingdom. They were recruited online through internet and social media”.
He also said that his team is composed of young Saudis who possess a unique mixture of technological and programing skills, and that they decided to utilize their skills in serving their country and fighting those who want to inflict harm to the Kingdom. “We’re all volunteers and we’re not looking for fame or fortune. The electronic war we unleashed on ISIS targets their accounts and anyone affiliated with them. We will try hard to eliminate them and save our country from their evil designs”, said Cyber of Emotions leader.
According to the hacking group leader, social media is full of fake accounts belonging to ISIS members who use a lot of “hashtags” related to the Kingdom’s affairs. These accounts target young Saudi men and deliberately try to spread rumors and tarnish the country’s image. “We identified a large number of these accounts and after close monitoring we found out their disgraceful intentions. Our main goal is to attack these accounts and expose those who hide behind them”, he said.
