‘Kill them where you find them’: Australian defence officials, MP placed on Islamic State hit list

IS HAS released the email addresses, phone numbers and passwords of Australians, with orders to kill on sight.

AUSTRALIAN defence officials, public servants and a member of Parliament have been placed on a frightening Islamic State hit list.

Their personal details including phone numbers and emails have been shared on social media as the death cult claimed they had hacked American government and military computers.

Australia’s top IS fighter Neil Prakash, from Melbourne, sent the list to his 1100 followers and urged them to attack.

One post he shared said: “Kill them where you find them and enslave their women.”

The member of Parliament told the Herald Sun he had no idea why he was on the list.

“If I’d been outspoken, yeah I could understand there being threats, but I’ve never said anything,” he said.

“I’m not worried about it. I don’t want to frighten my family or anything.”

The list contains hundreds of names — many of whom are American defence personnel — and is being distributed with a chilling message.

“We are in your emails and computer systems, watching and recording your every move,” it said.

The Australian Federal Police said it was aware of claims made by the Islamic State hackers, and will liaise with the appropriate agencies.

It’s believed the Australians included in the list had been on a subscription database on a non-government computer system which was compromised.

Counter Terrorism Minister Michael Keenan was aware of the hacking scandal but would not comment until he received a briefing from the AFP on Thursday.
