As part of its arsenal of battlefield tactics, the Islamic State (ISIS) has added cyber-attacks to its list. By hacking into news organizations throughout the world, the terrorist organization has launched incredibly disruptive attacks in France, the United Kingdom, the United States and Iran, as attempts to eliminate the freedom of the press and manipulate the views shared by the media. Over time, each of these attacks were mitigated. However, these breaches demonstrate a number of key exposures that exist, such as social engineering that helped the hackers place malicious malware, and gave validation to a new battlefield front. Regardless of the fight associated with ISIS, newsrooms are destined to continue as a rich target in future conflicts.
