Worryingly, it also published their home and email addresses.

A post from the hacking group told fanatics to "follow" those on the list and "kill them strongly to take revenge for Muslims".

The names of the Brits or whether they are in the public eye is not known.

Alongside the names, the group UCC posted an image of masked gunmen roaming a battlefield alongside the caption "All the world can't stop Islamic State".

More than 7,000 American were included on the 8,312-name list, with 312 from Canada and 69 Australians.

The rest of the list is made up of individuals from countries including France, Germany, Jamaica, China, Brazil and Sweden.

The list was discovered on the Deep Web - a highly complex version of the internet that allows criminals and terrorists to protect their identity - by investigative website Vocativ on Monday night via messaging app Telegram.

The site has refused to release or share the names on the list, which was written in both Arabic and English.

Telegram has since confirmed the list appears to have been removed from the app.
