Anonymous: Atlanta ISIS Attack Was Just a “Rumor”

Date:

On Saturday a report went viral that ISIS was planning on attacking Atlanta during the WWE event scheduled for Sunday evening.

Several news reports picked up the story and reported that the hacktvist group was warning citizens in Atlanta, Georgia to be careful of a planned ISIS attack at the Philips Arena.

In fact, the FBI said in a statement it is aware of an alleged threat by the Islamic State group to stage an attack on a WWE event scheduled for Atlanta Sunday evening. However, FBI Special Agent in Charge J. Britt Johnson of the Atlanta office said the bureau did not have “specific or credible information of an attack.”

The FBI is aware of reports of an alleged threat that includes an Atlanta, Georgia, venue and event. … We have … made the proper notifications as we continue to work closely with our law-enforcement and private-sector partners to keep our community safe.”

Anonymous took to Twitter to clear the air saying “We did not spread any rumors about possible future ISIS attacks, and frankly, we do not know where the rumors come from.”

But, this has not stopped people from expressing their concerns and worries on Twitter:

It is important to point out that Anonymous is a loose collective group of hackers without any form of leaders or accountability. Which means, anyone can make a threat under the guise of Anonymous.
