Oh technology, so useful...and deadly when in the wrong hands. A Kosovo citizen, living in Malaysia at the time of this inevitable arrest, used his hacking skills and I guess you could call them Twitter skills to singlehandedly put more than 1000 American soldiers into life threatening danger. He did this, to the benefit of ISIS. Addresses and names of these American citizens were passed along to ISIS (through regular twitter interactions), who then compiled the information to create the ultimate Kill List. Having this information about those on the Kill List could provide the opportunity for ISIS members either across the Atlantic Ocean or even here on American soil to carry out these so-called hits. The crime committed by Ardit Ferizi, is considered the combination of cybercrime and terrorism. This calls for a tightening of cyber security by the United States. Easy access to personal information about American citizens is appalling and unacceptable. Something needs to be done to protect this country from not only cyber attacks but increase our general national security!
