The hacktivist collective, Anonymous, has declared a war on US presidential hopeful Donald Trump and has vowed to 'dismantle' his campaign by hacking his website and leaking personal details.
The hacker group uploaded a video message to YouTube, announcing their plans. The speaker said in a computerised voice: "This is not a warning, this is a declaration of total war."

Titled #OpTrump, the campaign will apparently re-launch on April 1, when Trump's websites will all be brought down through a distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack.
In a separate post on the campaign, Anonymous has already posted a number of personal details allegedly belonging to Trump, including a social security number, personal phone number and contact details of close aides.
