The UK is understood to have conducted a hacking operation against Isis around 2017 to gain information about an emerging, low-tech armed drone capability operated by the Islamist terror group in Mosul. The hack obtained details about how the drones and the attached missiles were bought and how and where the operators were trained, enabling anti-Isis coalition forces to destroy the capability. I would have thought 'moderate rebels' under our protection share intelligence like this with the remainder of the head-chopper groups incl. ISIS. Cake walk for GCHQ, surely. That can't be all, what about the rest?
