Wall Street Journal: Pentagon Won’t Give Islamic State Clues on Cyber Strategy
‘I’m not interested in giving them any advantage,’ says Adm. Mike Rogers, head of U.S. Cyber Command

Adm. Mike Rogers, head of U.S. Cyber Command and the National Security Agency, said Tuesday that the Pentagon’s use of computer tactics to confront Islamic State is part of its broader campaign to defeat the group.
