According to the organisation, the most active group is "ihC and #CracxeR", and it says, over 100 successful digital attacks have occurred today so far.

ISPs, travel, hotel, industrial and online tourism firms have been attacked, said mi2g.

"ALLAH.SWT is our GoD and MUHAMMAD.SAW is our Propet."

"[ARABIC: Taqobballohu Minnawa Minkum Shiyamana Washiyamukum Kullu'amwa Antum Bikhoir Minal' Aidzin Wal Faidzin.]"

"WE ARE NOT TERRORRIS ! WE ALL LOVE PEACE ! WE HATE WAR ! WE ARE NOT A LOOSER ! Irak and Palestine Ur very brave... we are Salluote Of U. F*** ! USA is only a DEVIL in the world. USA : u think u can take and control all the country and all people?? but u can't control US!! Ur only baby doll of f***ing Israel !!!"
