[RFE/RL] A Kosovar citizen accused of hacking the personal data of over a thousand U.S. military personnel and sending it to Daesh made his first public appearance in the United States on January 27. Ardit Ferizi appeared in court in Virginia to face terrorism charges after being extradited from Malaysia, where he was detained in October.Court documents say the hacker broke into the server of an American online retailer and stole the military members' identifying information. The complaint says Ferizi provided the information to Daesh, including the British hacker Junaid Hussain, who bragged about having the information in an August 2015 tweet.
Twitter posts show that Ferizi also offered to create a computer program enabling Daesh to post propaganda that would "never get deleted."
