Speaking to Newsweek, the hacker, who uses the online moniker WauchulaGhos, said: ““I did it for the lives lost in Orlando, ISIS have been spreading and praising the attack, so I thought I would defend those that were lost. The hacker is reportedly part of the hacktivist collective known as Anonymous and hacked the accounts in response to the terrorist attack at a gay club in Orlando, which left 50 people dead and many more injured.
A hacker took control of Twitter accounts belonging to supporters of the Islamic State and replaced terrorism-related content with gay pride images and pornography, and an excerpt proclaiming, “I’m Gay and Proud.”
