Pentagon Deploys Cyberweapons Against Islamic State
(Wall Street Journal) Damian Paletta and Felicia Schwartz - The U.S. military is using new digital weapons to try to neutralize Islamic State's ability to communicate, control forces and manage finances in Syria and Iraq, top Pentagon officials said Monday. Defense Secretary Ash Carter said the new military campaign in Syria is designed "to interrupt ISIL's command and control, to cause them to lose confidence in their networks, to overload their networks so that they can't function."
