Pro-ISIS Twitter accounts hacked, filled with porn and gay pride




CALIFORNIA: An American-based hacker @WauchulaGhost has hacked hundreds of Islamic State-owned Twitter accounts and flooded them with porn and gay pride slogans.

According to details, the hacker who described himself as “Jacked by a Ghost” on Twitter, compromised many Twitter accounts of IS supporters and wrote on their wall gay pride slogans.

“It’s time I shared with you a secret, I am Gay and I am proud,” the hacker posted.

The ‘Ghost’ hacker also explained about hacking IS accounts and said that he started hacking these accounts a few months ago but increased his attacks in the wake of the Orlando shootings that took place on Sunday at the Pulse nightclub which caused the death of 50 people.

“I think we’re there to serve a purpose, at least I know I am,” the Ghost wrote. “My goal waking up in the morning and see messages from Daesh [Islamic State], telling me they’re going to kill me or cut my head off. The madder they get, the happier I get.”

“Daesh doesn’t like porn,” Ghost said. “They don’t like women in general. We just started using it to poke fun at them and diminish their presence online.”

Later, Twitter suspended his account and deleted the posts which created anger in some of its users that as to why a good cause has been blocked. Twitter users started to ask questions about why Twitter allowed supporters of the Islamic State to use the social media platform to convert followers.

The hacker said that he wants to undermine the voices of ISIS recruiters and chase them off popular social networks.
