One video was posted on YouTube on Saturday. An unidentified man with a Guy Fawkes mask signifying the group, is issuing a warning to the Islamic State group that "war is declared" and ISIS can be prepared for "major cyberattacks."

"These attacks cannot remain unpunished," the man said in French, according to NBC News."We are going to launch the biggest operation ever against you. Expect many cyberattacks. War has been declared. Get ready. We don't forgive and we don't forget."

The Islamic State group on Saturday said that the group was responsible for the attacks. A hunt has been launched for terrorists, most of which "targeted bars, restaurants, a concert hall and soccer stadium" The possible mastermind behind the attacks is a Belgian national who is currently living in Syria, according to Reuters.

The Anonymous spokesman continued: "Anonymous from all over the world will hunt you down. Yes, you, the vermin who kill innocent victims, we will hunt you down like we did to those who carried out the attacks on Charlie Hebdo. You should know that we will find you and we will not let you go."

So this video has already got over 1.6 million views since its release Saturday.

Anonymous issued similar threats on ISIS after the January attacks on the satirical French newspaper Charlie Hebdo "declaring war" against" al Qaeda, Islamic State and other terrorists," according to Fox News. Anonymous also launched a number of "denial-of-service" attacks against websites belonging to the Islamic State. They overloaded the sites with false traffic so that they could be disabled.

The group also located over 39,000 Twitter accounts that were false, 25,000 of which got suspended, according to the group. Aout 14,000 are still active. Anonymous also targeted the Church of Scientology and the Westboro Baptist Church. But that support partly faded after it located Michael Brown's shooter in Ferguson, Missouri.

However, the group has come under criticism for not controlling its members, and also for interfering with "formal state-sponsored intelligence operations", according to The Hill.

"The motivation of Anonymous as a whole really is to get attention," Matt Harrigan, president and CEO of cyber threat detection firm PacketSled, who monitors the hacking group said. "It's a PR machine for causes that somebody inside Anonymous has decided are important."
