The British government is going on a cyber offensive against rogue states and ISIS terrorists, Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab announced.
The campaign will focus on shutting down the ability of ISIS to spread its “poisonous propaganda”, he said.
He declared £22 million ($31m) in funding to help a number of African countries start joint operations against cyber crime in a continent where extremists have gained a foothold.
Britain’s offensive capabilities have developed through the National Cyber Force (NCF). Set up a year ago, it employs personnel from MI6, GCHQ surveillance and the military for the first time under a unified command.
