A group of hackers that call themselves "Anonymous" declared war against Islamic extremists last month, saying in a YouTube video that they would track down all ISIS websites and social media networks and take them down.
In a new video posted Friday, Anonymous sent another warning to ISIS: "You will be treated like a virus, and we are the cure. We own the Internet."
Checks by CNN found the vast majority of Twitter accounts mentioned by Anonymous were displaying a message saying they had been suspended or were not available.
Both Twitter and Facebook are known to take down accounts and content that are associated with terrorism, but it can be difficult to keep track of their millions of users. They often rely on complaints from others before making a move.
This campaign against ISIS was triggered by the bloody attack on French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo in January, in which 12 people were murdered.
"We, Anonymous around the world, have decided to declare war on you the terrorists," it said in January.
