These are not the terrorist groups you’re looking for: an assessment of the cyber capabilities of Islamic State

Journal of Cyber Policy, 2017, vol. 2, issue 2, 255-265

Abstract: Although Islamic State (IS) exploits the internet and social media to its advantage, a misconception in the nature of its activities has led a number of diverse groups with differing capabilities and intents to be labelled as homogenous. This fails to take into account the conflicting and often mutable loyalties of online groups. To understand the true cyber threat to the U.K. that IS poses, we need to undertake a comprehensive and unbiased assessment of the capabilities of all groups linked to and supporting IS.
