U.S.A.

Central Command (CENTCOM)
responsible for:  Iraq + Syria
US military cyber units - X2
cyberwarfare against Islamic State propaganda online
x2 separate programs:

1. Digital Engagement Team (DET) - news front offensive
    Combined Joint Task Force Op:  'Inherent Resolve' - (CJTF-OIR)
    provides 'information' in multiple languages
    11-man unit
    lang:   Arabic, Urdu, Russian, Fars, Dari + Pashto
    targets Asian countries with tailored info
    aim:  take back digital space
    example:  'Iraqis tweeting in Iraqi" meme

2.  'Web Ops' - psyops targeting foreign countries

    eg. ISIS maintained dozen social media accounts
    eg. ISIS relied on fanboy accounts with large following
    = quick & wide supporter reach

    Web Ops engaged in:  MISO
    Military Information Support Ops
    aim:  coordination & message consistency b/w CJTF-OIR, Dept State, DET
    120-man unit
        steps:

  •     1.  disrupt
  •     2.  divide (point out hypocrisy)
  •     3.  supporting adversaries, in digital space

eg. strategy:


Target what is reportedly an ISIS 'bait and switch'
recruits told they are fighting Syrian govt or 'crusaders'
but, instead, they will Muslim opposition groups
reportedly the most commonly cited reason for leaving ISIS

ISIS losing territory Iraq & Syria
message now adapted:  urge followers to stay in host countries to commit terrorist acts locally

Attributed to ISIS:

  • San Bernardino, California, USA
  • Orlando, Florida, USA

Facebook & Twitter social media main avenue for messaging

CENTCOM target ISIS social media presence

US military cyberwarfare programs + non-govt groups
[comment:  prob. all FBI or FBI recruits... LOL]
have disrupted ISIS online activity
along with account suspensions etc

reportedly have:  diminished ISIS digital communications footprint


*as ISIS loses territory in Middle East / Asia / Africa
ATTACKS WILL BE ENCOURAGED ABROAD (ie IN WEST
)

These guys probably have the best jobs in military:  paid online trolling ... what could be better?
