Anonymous may be harming anti-ISIS efforts

Some people are expressing concerns that Anonymous' approach risks damaging intelligence gathering by Western intelligence services.

...........


A hacking organisation GhostSecGroup has claimed responsibility for preventing real-world terrorist attacks in the past (although this hasn't been verified). Its leader, "DigitaShadow," told Mic News that Anonymous tactics could damage sources of useful intelligence. "When it comes to terrorist attacks, one of the big worries is that you could take down forums and cost someone their lives ... Anonymous has a habit of shooting in every direction and asking questions later."

Security market specialist Ken Westin told CNBC that Anonymous' efforts could have the adverse affect of forcing ISIS to improve its security. "This may actually force ISIS to be a little more security savvy," he said. "This may drive them to increase their capabilities when it comes to encrypting communication and securing their sites. It could have a negative impact."
