Social Science Homework

There has been an increase in the perceived threat of cyberterrorism, but it is not clear how violent extremist and terrorist groups are leveraging the Internet as a platform for
attacks against given targets. With that in mind, find as much information as you can about an actor named Ardit Ferizi and his role in aiding the so-called Islamic State (IS).
1. What did Ferizi do? Be specific in terms of his target and methods.
2. Would you characterize him as a skilled hacker or a basic script kiddie? Why?
3. Would you characterize his actions as cybercrime or cyberterrorism? Be specific in terms
of the definitions of the events, how his acts could facilitate on- or offline crime, and the
laws used to prosecute him.
4. What does this incident tell us about the threat of links between crime and terrorism?
