WauchulaGhost, the hacker allegedly responsible for hacking more than 250 ISIS Twitter accounts, has received threats of an impending beheading and death.
WauchulaGhost began targeting jihadist accounts 18 months ago. He believes that somebody has to stand up to those spreading the hate.
The hacker claims that it only takes him just 60 second to crack an account. He also claims that most ISIS posters have the technical skills of a 10-year-old.
By plastering Twitter accounts associated with ISIS members in the rainbow flag of the LGBT movement and writing “I’m gay and I’m proud”, the hacker might be playing a dangerous game. Ghost says he isn’t worried about retaliation. “I’m more worried about people like [Orlando shooter] Omar [Mateen] that are walking our streets right now. When are they going to ‘lose it’ and kill more innocent people. If there’s one, there’s more.”
The Sun reports:
Following the Orlando gay nightclub shooting he decided to replace the pro-ISIS imagery on their profiles with pro-LGBT messages and links to gay porn.
But now he’s revealed his web hijackings have led to horror death threats.
He told CNN: “I get beheading images… death threats. ‘We’re going to kill you’ and that’s good because if they are focusing on me they are not doing anything else.
“We started to take over their accounts with porn and gay pride images basically just to troll them. We thought that putting the naked images would offend them.”
The computer expert decided to make a stand because he said nobody else was.
“If the social media people like Facebook, Twitter and Instagram would stand up and do something it would help.
“Sometimes you have to stand up and make a change for the good.”
WauchulaGhost has spoken out on just how much the Orlando attack affected him.
“Daesh [ISIS] have been spreading and praising the attack, so I thought I would defend those that were lost. The taking of innocent lives will not be tolerated,” he said.
“One thing I do want to say is we aren’t using graphic porn and our purpose is not to offend Muslims.

“If the social media people like Facebook, Twitter and Instagram would stand up and do something it would help. Sometimes you have to stand up and make a change for the good. Our actions are directed at Jihadist extremists. Many of our own are Muslim and we respect all religions that do not take innocent lives.
