The Anonymous hacking group has declared “war” on the Turkish government over its belief it is supporting the Islamic State, or ISIS.

The group took responsibility for a recent cyberattack that hit Turkey’s Internet, taking around 400,000 websites offline, reported the Independent newspaper.

Experts told the Telegraph it wasn’t clear who was behind the cyberattacks on Turkish websites that lasted Dec. 14 to Dec. 21. Nic.tr said the attacks originated from “outside Turkey.”
