Posted on Thursday Nov 20th at 11:45am By Jared Malsin CAIRO--When it seized huge parts of Syria and Iraq this year, the self-proclaimed Islamic State--and the geopolitical chaos surrounding it--became one of the biggest news stories on the planet.
But journalists have little means of directly reporting on the group, its activities on the ground, or the havoc it has sown in the region. A physical meeting with the group's members could mean a death sentence; this is an organization notorious for kidnapping and murdering journalists, both foreign and local.

Donations from wealthy sympathizers greatly helped ISIS when it was first established. However, now that global governments are aware of ISIS and actively look to track and block all funding efforts through banking channels, donations have become harder to receive.

Los expertos reunidos en este foro, que se ha celebrado en la localidad austríaca de Baden, incidieron en la necesidad de que las sociedades, los gobiernos y los organismos de seguridad activen nuevos y más eficaces mecanismos para afrontar la amenaza ciberterrorista, que suele concluir en una acción de tipo terrorista convencional, cuya pista de lanzamiento es la propia red. El jefe de los espías británicos pide ayuda a Facebook y Twitter.
