US: Cyberattacks can expose Islamic State communications

March 01, 2016 01:10

Defense Secretary Ash Carter says US cyberattacks to disrupt the Islamic State's communications and overload their networks could force the militant group to use older technologies that are easier for the US to

intercept.

Carter and Gen. Joseph Dunford, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, are providing more details on how the US is using computer-based attacks as part of the military operations against the Islamic State in Syria and Iraq.

US officials told The Associated Press last week that the military had launched a far more aggressive cyber campaign against the group.
