We were all heartbroken by the news of the terrorist attack on France. At least 87 were killed at the Bataclan concert hall; 18 at Boulevard de Charonne; 14 at Rue Alibert and five at Rue de la Fontaine Au Roi. Anonymous is an Anti-terrorism group,  of ethical hackers who are standing in the front lines of the digital war against ISIS. They had declared war on ISIS saying, “Anonymous from all over the world will hunt you down. We will launch the biggest operation ever against you. Expect massive cyber attacks. War is declared. Get prepared.”

Ghost Security Group (GSG) Tracked ISIS Militants Funding details:

Ghost Security Group (GSG), an offshoot of Anonymous has revealed that Islamic State militants linked to the Paris Attacks which turned the whole of Europe upside down had funding through Bitcoin payment systems.

The group said some data have already been given to Michael Smith, the co-founder of Kronos Advisory and an advisor to the United States Congress. The FBI is also said to be studying some of these data after Smith reportedly forwarded it to them.

A member of Ghost Security Group said,

“The Islamic State does use cryptocurrencies as a form of income to fund their ongoing operations, and we have managed to uncover several Bitcoin addresses used by them. One of the accounts we analyzed was found to contain 3 million U.S. dollars worth of Bitcoins.”

“Most of the Bitcoin funding sites utilized by the Islamic State are on the deep web and we have managed to uncover several and successfully shut them down in order to limit the funding extremists receive through the use of cryptocurrencies.”
