Don't pull the plug please

Maybe you have heard or maybe you have not, but last week Turkey was hit by a very fierce cyberattack. 
According to Sara Malm of the Daily Mail, the hacking group Anonymous launched a massive cyberattack on Turkey, accusing the country's leaders of supporting the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL).

The global "hacktivist" collective has threatened to sabotage the servers of Turkey's airports, banks, military services and government facilities unless they stop aiding ISIL.

Last week, Anonymous brought down up to 40,000 websites across Turkey by attacking the country's "root servers."

Anonymous stepped up their "online war efforts" in the fight against ISIL in the wake of the terrorist attacks in Paris last month. According to one Anonymous source, "You may be wondering why we are 'trolling' ISIL and planning all these demonstrations. To understand that, you must first see how ISIL works.

"They thrive off fear and hope that by their actions they can silence all of us and get us to just lay low and hide in fear. We will show them that we are not afraid, we will not just hide in our fear, we are the majority and with our strength in numbers we can make a real difference. We will mock them for the idiots they are."
 
Anonymous already published and updated a list of Twitter accounts they claim spread propaganda in support of ISIL, a list which has now increased to more than 5,500 accounts.  

However, some sources say the attack which hit Turkey was the biggest ever because of very active Russian participation; Russians are known to be great hackers, along with the Chinese and the Americans. Therefore, a scenario where there was an active participation from Russia in the Anonymous attacks is very logical...
