UK defense secretary: Our military is hacking ISIS
2016-10-23
[Ynet] UK Defense Secretary Michael Fallon said Thursday that Britannia's military is launching cyberattacks against ISIS in support
of the offensive on the Iraqi city of djinn-infested Mosul
... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn...
, a first-of-its kind acknowledgement that British forces are launching attacks across the internet.

"I can confirm we are using offensive cyber for the first time in this campaign," Fallon said in response to a question from a journalist at a conference on "The Transformation of 21st Century Warfare" in central London.

He didn't go into further detail, but the very admission was seen as noteworthy in the context of the secrecy which usually surrounds military hacking

#3  Personally I prefer when the Irish launch hacking attacks - all internet ISIS internet sites are replaced with a recording of an old Irish cop saying "nothing to see here - move along, move along."
