The International Business Times, Anonymous, the international group of activist hackers, has uncovered information about coordinated ISIS (Islamic State of Iraq and Syria) attacks on Sunday night, and of all the international sites listed as possible attack targets, the only U.S. target is The Phillips Arena in Atlanta, Georgia, the site of WWE’s yearly PPV Survivor Series.
Following the terrorist attacks in Paris, France last week, Anonymous declared a cyberwar on ISIS, and its goal it to shut down social media accounts spreading ISIS “propaganda.”
The group issued the following statement:
“The goal is to make sure the whole world, or at least the people going to these events, know that there have been threats and that there is possibility of an attack to happen. Another goal is to make sure Daesh knows that the world knows and cancels the attacks, which will disorientate them for a while.”
They also listed other targets in addition to Sunday’s pay-per-view:

Cigales Electroniques with Vocodecks, RE-Play & Rawtor at Le Bizen (Paris)
