    Hackers affiliated to Isis terror group who promised to take down International search engine giant Google has instead targeted a small Indian tech firm, according to a media report.

    Cyber Caliphate Army (CCA), a hacking group affiliated to Isis, hit www.addgoogleonline.com registered by Gandani K for Indian tech firm Always Say, which offers search engine optimisation (SEO) services to local clients.

    According to vocative.com website, CCA had vowed on messaging app Telegram they would attack Google on Monday.

    "We promised to hack Google. Keep the promise inshallah (God willing), expect us today," the group declared.

    However, the website claims that a few hours later they had instead defaced the website www.addgoogleonline.com which is completely unrelated to the Silicon Valley based Google.
