The FBI on Saturday confirmed it is aware of claims made by hacker collective Anonymous that there’s a terror threat in Atlanta, but it said it doesn’t consider it to be credible.

Anonymous said that it found threats by the Islamic State, or ISIS, against the WWE Survivor Series, which is scheduled for Sunday night in Atlanta, according to a report from the International Business Times.

However, a major Twitter account associated with Anonymous stated. “We did not spread any rumors about possible future ISIS attacks, and frankly, we do not know where the rumors come from.”
