Immediately, the identities of the '5 Vietnamese hackers' were made public on the Twitter page @Phisher. This account said that the attack on Anonymous was carried out by 5 members, aged between 18 and 23.

According to Anonymous' initial investigation, this seems to be the New Kings hacker group from Vietnam. The nicknames of the 5 young hackers were announced on Twitter: TAK3R, PT2K2, EzsKey, NoLifeVN and DC27K2.

Regarding the attack by 5 hackers suspected to be Vietnamese, the account @Phisher said that these were simply young, inexperienced hackers. @Phisher even said that maybe all 5 of these young people were still in school, and were not aware of their actions.

Following the trail of these hackers, Anonymous found a website of the New Kings group with content impersonating the IS organization, and at the same time issued challenges to Anonymous.

Currently, information such as real names, Facebook accounts, email addresses, and YouTube accounts of the 5 New Kings members have been released one by one. However, the Anonymous group also recommends that people should not attack these 5 young hackers, and leave the matter to the authorities.

It is known that previously, some Facebook accounts originating from Vietnam had impersonated IS member accounts with the name Timur Zhunusov to create negative public opinion.
