UK defense secretary: Our military is hacking ISIS
[Ynet] UK Defense Secretary Michael Fallon said Thursday that Britannia's military is launching cyberattacks against ISIS in support

"I can confirm we are using offensive cyber for the first time in this campaign," Fallon said in response to a question from a journalist at a conference on "The Transformation of 21st Century Warfare" in central London.
