Anonymous Posts Pornography To Hijacked ISIS Twitter Accounts (softpedia.com)

An anonymous Slashdot reader writes: Softpedia is reporting that a member of the Anonymous collective "has been hijacking accounts for the most active ISIS supporters, the ones involved in online recruitment, and has been plastering their profiles with naked women and peaceful messages." Anonymous is also using the hijacked accounts to monitor "protected" tweets from ISIS, and they're reporting hundreds of thousands of other ISIS profiles to Twitter. But Anonymous is also defacing 161 of the hijacked accounts, saying they're "Adding our own images and basically showing them 'We are in control'... we are creating confusion and distrust..." There are a few things that the Islamic State fear. One is women and the second is Porn."

how Obama has, yet again, failed to stop a terrorist attack on US soil.

Because Bush was so successful ignoring 8 months of daily warnings of an impending attack which led to the deaths of 3,000 people.

Are you seriously suggesting that the President, any President, personally take over security for the entire country to prevent these types of attacks? That their direct involvement will prevent this from happening?

You're as inane as the moron on my local newspaper site who said he's voting for Trump because Trump will stop these attacks. Trump couldn't even turn a profit for his casinos*, how is he supposed to stop terror attacks?

* Had Mr. Trump's revenues grown at the rate of other Atlantic City casinos, his company could have made its interest payments and possibly registered a profit. But with sagging revenues and high costs, his casinos had too little money for renovations and improvements, which are vital for hotels to attract guests. The public company never logged a profitable year.
