On the other side, ISIS is growing its presence on the Darknet—and this could also spell trouble. A stable Darknet site could have given ISIS what it currently lacks: a resilient and secure website they can use to recruit members and promote their operations.

Yet, TorReaper said he’s not letting up. He said he developed a special system to launch the cyberattacks, and “I can just leave it running as long as I want.” He adds, “once I held down the ISIS movie release site by myself for 90 hours from my cell phone.”
