Representatives of the UK military services revealed details of the operation to weaken terrorist groups in 2016-2017.
The Director of GCHQ, Jeremy Fleming (Jeremy Fleming) and head of the Strategic command of Britain Patrick Sanders (Patrick Sanders) told the details of the British secret cyber operations to counter DAYS (banned in Russia as a terrorist organization). The operation included disabling drones, jamming phones and carrying out cyber attacks on the terrorist group's servers in order to block online propaganda.
The cyberattacks were conducted in 2016-2017. According to intelligence officials, it was then clear that Islamist militants rely on cyber technology to carry out propaganda, as well as to manage, control and plan attacks.
"It was a very cheap and effective way of waging war. We wanted to turn this power, this dependence of terrorists on cyberspace, into vulnerability, and also undermine the credibility of their information campaign and ideology, " the Financial Times quoted Sanders as saying.
Representatives of the Government Communications Center first reported a large "offensive cyber campaign" against Daesh three years ago, but previously gave no details about the operation. Cyber-tactics have been reinforced on the ground by separate military operations involving special forces, the Iraqi armed forces and local resistance groups, although details of these operations have not been disclosed.
