GhostSec Claims ISIS Is Sitting on Bitcoin Wallets Worth MILLIONS
A sect of GhostSec known as Ghost Security Group, an offshoot of Anonymous that many members have claimed are actually Feds, is reporting that ISIS isn’t just funding itself with black market oil from Syria, but via multi-million-dollar bitcoin wallets.
Via Techworm:
DW (Deutsche Welle) previously reported that the Islamic State is experimenting with currency, specifically gold and bitcoin. One bitcoin wallet received around $23 million in a month; anti-ISIS hackers from GhostSec followed a chain of transactions to another wallet with over $3 million in bitcoins.
Ghost Security Group confirmed to NewsBTC that ISIS is “extensively using bitcoin for funding their operations” and that the group has “managed to uncover several bitcoin addresses used by them.” Furthermore, bitcoin is “their prime form of cryptocurrency.” No evidence was given, such as the bitcoin wallet address, as the hackers “cannot go into more detail at the moment on current investigations.”
NewsBTC interviewed a member of GSG who, after discussing how the group is currently collecting evidence for the U.S. government following the Paris attacks, said, “Most of the evidence we have seen thus far indicates that BtC is [ISIS’] prime form of cryptocurrency. It is currently unknown if they have the capability to mine Bitcoin but they do receive donations on a regular basis.”
Then again, even ISIS members have admitted to being funded via U.S. government funds transfer, so…
Couldn’t you see this situation being used by the centralized banking cartel as a reason to call for the shutdown of “dangerous” cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin? How easily terrorists can be funded via anonymous donations hidden on the deep web?
In the wake of the Paris attacks, Anonymous declared a war on ISIS. Today the hacktivist collective claims it has disabled more than 6,000 ISIS Twitter accounts.
Anonymous tweeted that it disabled more than 6,080 ISIS Twitter accounts. https://t.co/2fQirOPY8s (Photo: Anonymous) pic.twitter.com/fgiLVFUSZ6
