A hacker claims to have hacked the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), alleging to have exfiltrated the data of its members.
Threat actor “The_Sn1p3r” listed the terrorist organisation on a popular hacking forum, advertising “critical data”.
The threat actor claims that the exfiltrated data includes “the national list of individuals, organisations, and entities linked to terrorist crimes, ISIS killing locations, names of ISIS members, all aliases and terrorist organisations, ISIS in Diyala, ISIS terrorists database, ISIS lists and statistical numbers, ISIS wanted individuals, wanted individuals in Damascus, ISIS structure (2017), ISIS hierarchy”.
The_Sn1p3r also posted a sample of the data in Arabic, which, when translated via Google Translate, results in a list of names. Cyber Daily has not been able to verify if the names are those of real ISIS members.
The leak of ISIS data comes just a week after a New Orleans suspected terror attack was carried out by an individual believed to have been a member of ISIS.
On New Year’s Day, 42-year-old Shamsud-Din Jabbar killed at least 14 people and injured many more after he drove a truck into a busy crowd.
After firing a weapon at police, the man, who was a US citizen and Army veteran, was shot by law enforcement and killed.
Din Jabbar is suspected to have connections to ISIS, having carried an ISIS flag in the back of the truck he used in the attack. The night prior, he had also recorded a video message claiming he had joined ISIS, which he then sent to his family.
