The depraved terror group is edging closer to being able to take down electrical grids which would mean people “will die” and the British economy could crash, claims Mikko Hypponen, chief research officer at cyber security specialists, F-Secure.
Mr Hypponen, who has advised governments on cyber-security in the US, Europe and Asia, said it would be possible to bring down the UK’s broadband network, either through a physical or virtual attack.
He said ISIS extremists – also called Daesh – have already shown they are willing to launch attacks “that make no sense”.
The cyber-security expert said: “ISIS has demonstrated they have the most credible offensive cyber capability of any of the jihadist extremist movements.”
But he admitted it would not be easy as the level of their operational skills would have to be extremely high.
