Anonymous goes viral after declaring war on U.S presidential candidate

The masked hacking group who went viral after declaring a war on ISIS in the wake of the Paris attacks, is now turning its attention to Donald Trump.

Anonymous goes viral after publishing names and details of ISIS sponsors and recruiters

In a video published Wednesday, Anonymous slams the GOP presidential frontrunner for his proposal to keep Muslims from entering the country.

"This policy is going to have a huge impact. This is what ISIS wants," Anonymous said. "The more Muslims feel sad, the more ISIS feel that they can recruit them."

Trump's polarizing rhetoric may have him surging in the polls, but most Americans actually oppose his plan for Muslims.

Of course, it's unclear if Anonymous will be able to have much of an impact on the election. The video doesn't make any plan of action clear, and even if it did, the group has made plenty of missteps in the past.

However, Anonymous threats should still be taken seriously because they were able to silence extremist propaganda and expose undercover operatives when it leaked details of at least five men who are recruiting for ISIS.
