Mumbai: After Anonymous asked people around the world to join their online war against ISIS on December 11, the hacker collective has now targeted Donald Trump.
The group had launched an online offensive against the Republican presidential candidate following his anti-Muslim rhetoric, proposing a ban on their immigration to US.
The #OPTrump campaign launched on December 9 is the latest of the series of myriad operations launched by the Anonymous. Individuals under the banner of Anonymous took down Trump’s website for several hours via a DDOS (Distributed Denial of Service) attack.
