U.S. could do more in cyber war against ISIS, experts say

The U.S. is likely conducting cyber operations similar to the one by an Israeli cyberintelligence company reported last week, but experts say the U.S. could still be doing more to take down the Islamic State online.

Intsights, an Israeli cyberintelligence firm, reportedly hacked into the Islamic State's Telegram internal communications group and found that the terrorist group was calling for followers to attack U.S. military bases in the Middle East, including Kuwait, Bahrain and Saudi Arabia, the Times of Israel reported.

Asked if the threats had changed U.S. force protection posture in the region, Capt. Jeff Davis, a Pentagon spokesman, said, "We already have very high security at all of our facilities there. We track many threats like this, most of them aspirational."
