ISIL online reach shows failure of administration cyber campaign

Washington Post:
Surge in terrorism charges a sign of ISIS’s online reach

The Justice Department charged an unprecedented number of people this year with terrorism-related crimes, an increase that came as the fast-rising Islamic State group used social media to inspire supporters to plot or attempt attacks.
The US has not developed a counter to the online jihad of ISIL.  It is still relying on social media providers to help it police the appeal of the terrorists and is not aggressively going after the computers of the enemy with cyber attacks including malware.  It is not tracking the computers used in the appeal and targeting them for destruction by the military or arresting the users if they are in friendly countries.
