The “United Cyber Caliphate” that hacked U.S. Central Command, 54,000 Twitter accounts and threatened the U.S. President is the same pro-Isis group that’s reportedly created a “kill list” with the names, addresses and emails of thousands of civilian Americans.
This pro-Isis group has released a hit list with the names of more than 8,000 people mostly Americans.
FBI agent-turned lawyer Stuart Kaplan says the threat is especially alarming, because the people on this list are civilians who don’t have the security necessary to protect themselves. Kaplan is concerned the list will inspire “lone wolf” style attacks.
According to Thomas Galati, chief of intelligence for the New York Police Department, “They’re putting out the lists that they are finding online and they’re sending it to their followers and they are saying these are good people for you to attack,” Mr. Galati said. “You can’t discount it.”
