In the real world, the Islamic State is a dangerous terror group capable of committing global atrocities and mass murder. However, in cyberspace, at least according to security researchers at Flashpoint, Daesh-affiliated hackers are neither advanced nor sophisticated. In a fairly damning 25-page assessment of the Islamic State's e-Jihad crew, a report titled 'Hacking for ISIS: The Emergent Cyber Threat Landscape' explores the unpredictable – and unorganized – origins of the cyber group and how their attempts to become a force to be reckoned with online have mostly fallen flat. "It is important to note that because the pro-Isis hacking effort is still an unofficial endeavor, neither acknowledged nor claimed by Isis itself, it is still poorly organized (and likely under-resourced), which often leads to conflicting messaging among the relevant actors," the report states.
