Alleged 'Islamic State (ISIS) Hackers' are on the move again, recently announcing that they have (gleaned) vital information about could endanger the lives of 100 U.S. military men. The group, Islamic State Hacking Division, also claimed to have accessed crucial security databases, even the Pentagon, to obtain the names, complete with addresses and pictures of the men.

"With the huge amount of data we have from various different servers and databases, we have decided to leak 100 addresses so that our brothers in America can deal with you," the alleged ISIS hackers posted. The group even stated that they have now sent assassins for each 'Crusader', urging their supporters to join in the mission.

This recent threat posed by ISIS had the men's families fearing for the lives of their loved ones. According to CNN, families of the military were so anxious they did massive changes to their social media profiles and thought twice about posting personal info.

ISIS is notorious for its use of the internet to slam oppositions and gain a massive army of supporters. The terrorist group had been masterminds of a number of hackings, although the validity of the claims remain to be verified. The group also posed several gruesome videos online that depicted the actual beheading of their unfortunate hostages.

Terrorism is a fast becoming a global issue, and a crucial one at present, given the new waves of terrorist attacks by Islamic rebel groups' such as ISIS and Boko Haram, on an international scale. Even journalists from far and wide fail to escape their clutches, as all who dare pass into the group's territory are marking themselves up for danger.

In response, the United Nations, allied countries, human rights groups and other concerned organizations are doing what they can to re-claim areas that had been taken over by ISIS. A large coalition army is forming. The search for the terrorist group's victims and hostages is still underway. The fate of the world is linked to the curbing of the religious extremist group's reign of terror.
