Anonymous launches cyber attack on Turkey after accusing it of supporting ISIS

The global 'hacktivist' collective has threatened to sabotage servers of Turkey's airports, banks, military services and government facilities unless they stop aiding ISIS.

Last week, Anonymous brought down up to 40,000 websites across Turkey by attacking the country's 'root servers'.

According to a video message posted on Anonymous' YouTube channel, the hacktivists have just started.

'Turkey is supporting Daesh by buying oil from them, and hospitalizing their fighters. We won't accept that Erdogan, the leader of Turkey, will help ISIS any longer.

'If you don't stop supporting ISIS, we will continue attacking your internet, your root DNS, your banks and take your government sites down. 

After the root DNS we will start to hit your airports, military assets and private state connections. We will destroy your critical banking infrastructure. 

Stop this insanity now Turkey. Your fate is in your own hands,' 

Anonymous stepped up their 'online war efforts' in the fight against ISIS in the wake of the terrorist attacks in Paris last month. 

According to one Anonymous source: 'You may be wondering why we are "trolling" ISIS and planning all these demonstrations. To understand that you must first see how Isis works.

'They thrive off fear and hope that by their actions they can silence all of us and get us to just lay low and hide in fear.

'We will show them that we are not afraid, we will not just hide in our fear, we are the majority and with our strength in numbers we can make a real difference. We will mock them for the idiots they are.'

Anonymous already publish and update a list of Twitter accounts they claim spread propaganda in support of ISIS, a list which has now increased to more than 5,500.
