A British cyber attack paralyzed ISIS militants and their drones

---

A senior British security official revealed a secret mission by which the Government Communications Office, known by its acronym GCHQ, as a general intelligence agency, could jam and paralyze drones used by the extremist organization in its operations, and made its fighters electronically stranded, to the point of.

They can no longer communicate with each other on the battlefield, according to what Al-Arabiya.net has learned from what the Times newspaper reported today, in a news story in which it said that Jeremy Fleming, Director General of the Bureau, described a British radio program, how cyberattacks were carried out against ISIS activity in Syria.

Fleming said, we tried some early techniques to disrupt their use of some drone technologies, which was causing us a problem, so we used Internet technologies to influence how these drones operate. While General Patrick Sanders, head of the Strategic Command, said that ISIS communications via cell phones and computers. The mobile phones were also cut off and when they tried to coordinate attacks on our forces, we found that their devices were not working, and that they could not trust the orders they received.

We wanted to deceive them and mislead them and make them less effective and less coherent, and we undermined their morale. But you can't do that only in cyberspace. You have to coordinate that and integrate it with activities on the ground, the general added, adding that disrupting.

He said, ISIS communications gave British military leaders an element of surprise. The tactics also destroyed the terrorists propaganda, data, and withholding them from their social media accounts, so the number of violent videos they produced decreased. The new tactics led to the establishment of the national cyber force last year, which is a force that Al-Arabiya.net has learned about its history. It arose in concert between the GCHQ and the army, in addition to the famous MI6 intelligence apparatus. There is a group of campaigns aimed at deterring countries such as Russia and China," but he did not confirm if Britain had previously used offensive tactics similar to what it achieved with ISIS against another country.
