A group associated with Anonymous has reportedly hacked an alleged Islamic State supporter website and replaced it with a message to chill out and an advertisement for an online pharmacy.

It's been reported IS and IS supporter websites are moving their websites onto the dark web in an attempt to stay protected and hidden online.

But Anonymous-linked group GhostSec found a propaganda website supposedly controlled by IS, also known as ISIS, on the dark web, took it down, and replaced it with a message to chill out as well as an advertisement for an online pharmacy reportedly run by GhostSec.
