In the aftermath of the recent terror attacks in Paris, the “hacktivist” group “Anonymous” vowed revenge against the terrorist group responsible. Following a number of threats against ISIS, Anonymous began releasing and shutting down ISIS-linked Twitter accounts. But today marks an escalation that no one expected.

Many jumped to the logical conclusion that the U.S. had begun utilizing its swarm of drones, but following the initial confusion, the White House announced that it had lost control of the drones.

This marks the first time that Anonymous has engaged in actual, rather than virtual warfare, sort of like the computer that fought that Ferris Bueller guy at the end of War Games.
