Activist hacking group Anonymous have declared this Friday December 11 a "trolling day" against the terrorist group that calls itself Islamic State (ISIS) as part of its cyber campaign against the militant Islamist group. In an online message, Anonymous asked people to mock ISIS, or "Daesh" as it is also known in the West (a derogatory term for the group) online as part of its "Operation ISIS" campaign. "We ask you to show your support and help against ISIS by joining us and trolling them // do not think you have to be part of Anonymous, anyone can do this and does not require special skills." "We ask you to take part of this on Facebook // Twitter // Instagram // Youtube //In the "Real World," the post on file-sharing website Ghostbin added.

Trolling is the term given to abuse, insults or threats made online with celebrities often being the targets of internet "trolls." Anonymous asked them to use the Twitter hashtags #Daesh and #Daeshbags and post "mocking photos" of the group – such as posting picture of goats to ISIS members with captions talking about their wives, amongst other trolling tactics.

"Idiots"

Known as "hacktivists," Anonymous are a collective of unknown hackers who have carried out various cyberattacks on governments and corporations. Following the November 13 terrorist attacks in Paris in which 130 people died, the group declared "war" on ISIS and announced it would conduct "massive" cyber attacks on the group.
