Isis hackers release new ‘random’ kill list with 4000 names from database previously available online

An Islamic State (Isis)-affiliated hacker group called the Caliphate Cyber Army (CCA)has released a new “kill list” on social media, with names, addresses and emails of over 4,000 people from across the globe. While almost half of the names in the list are of Americans, residents of the UK, France, Canada and India have also reportedly made it to the list.

The hacker group distributed the list on the encrypted messaging service, Telegram, calling for Isis supporters to target the individuals listed. “O wolves of the Islamic State, [this is a] very important list, kill them immediately,” the hacker group said.

According to reports, over 280 names on the list belong to Indian nationals, although it is still uncertain if those listed are civilians or military and/or government officials. Coincidentally, some reports credits the UCC (United Cyber Caliphate) for releasing the list. However, since the CCA was incorporated into the UCC when the various pro-Isis hacker groups were merged in April 2016, the credit could perhaps be attributed to both hacker groups.
