Anonymous just declared war on Donald Trump
The hacking group Anonymous has formally announced its next target: Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.
An Anonymous-associated Twitter account said on Friday that the group had taken down the website for New York City's Trump Towers as a "statement against racism and hatred."
The Trump Towers website appears to be operational now, but the tweet from Anonymous claims it is running as an offline backup. A tweet from an Anonymous member on December 9 shows the hacker attempting to take down the Trump Towers website.
Trump recently called for a ban on all Muslims entering the US, which Anonymous denounces in a video posted to YouTube on December 9 that also warns Trump to "think twice" about his stance.
Here's part of the script from the Anonymous video, which depicts the speaker wearing a Guy Fawkes mask.
