Tech-savvy Taliban Fights War in Cyberspace

Been a while since I posted any interesting stories, but here we go.

More and more offensive cyber-attacks from the West are occuring, which is a good thing.  This lets us know that the IC is taking the threat of cyber-security very seriously and has started devoting funds to the problem, and not just in a passive way.  Classic counterintelligence techniques are being used, in this case, both the spread of misinformation and disinformation throughout the ranks of the Taliban.  Confusion, the loss of morale, looking behind their shoulder every second they get before a hellfire is dropped on their foreheads...all positives.
