The Pentagon is expanding its cyberattacks against the Islamic State (ISIS) group's computer networks, senior defense officials said Monday as they claimed to have seized the momentum in the 18-month-old fight against the jihadists.
Defense Secretary Ashton Carter and the U.S. military's top officer, General Joe Dunford, told reporters the United States was determined to "accelerate" the anti-ISIS campaign and indicated cyber warfare is playing an increasingly important role in doing so.
