Americans are rightfully concerned that jihadis from the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) are already on U.S. soil, but apparently we’re not the only Western nation with an ISIS problem. Britain, it seems, has one as well.
As reported by the UK’s Mirror, hackers have made the claim that several IS supporters’ social media accounts are actually being operated via Internet addresses linked to a government agency – the Department of Works and Pensions.
Four young computer experts who call themselves VandaSec, have found evidence linking at least three accounts whose owners support the Islamic State back to the department.
The Mirror reported further:
“Every computer and mobile phone logs onto the internet using an IP address, which is a type of identification number.
“The hacking collective showed Mirror Online details of the IP addresses used by a trio of separate digital jihadis to access Twitter accounts, which have been used to spread extremist propaganda.
“At first glance, the IP addresses seem to be based in Saudi Arabia, but upon further inspection using specialist tools they appeared to link back to the DWP.”
