About attacks against cyber guerillas
Cyber attacks are the new threat to national security, and they are effective tools for delivering propaganda and embarrassing the opponent. Normal propaganda tactics, what the propaganda operators use is to get as many Facebook, and why not other social media accounts in use and they would get as many connections as possible to those attacks. And when the time has come, they would start to deliver propaganda by using those accounts, and even if those accounts will be closed, the cleaning that material from service takes a very long time.
When we are thinking the back-operations against cyber, and troll accounts, attacking to those cyber guerillas must be done by using the same force, what they use. That means that the new version of the combat would be epic troll battle between those nations. The cyber guerillas are the new kind of operators in the network. Those persons are attacking other people by using disinformation like fake news to get sympathy, and also they would use manipulated information for causing the situation, that some other nation attacks to their enemies.
Disinformation and manipulated information are the greatest threat in the modern world. The thing is that the faked information might not be separated from reality. In the worst situation, the recon images of some area are manipulated by using Photoshop, and there might involve the mobile missile sites or images of Auschwitz, which are introduced as the images from some modern conflict, what mission is to cause the attack against that target.
But when we are thinking about the attacks against cyber bandits, the use of missiles and aircraft might feel a simple and effective solution. When the aircraft are destroying the headquarters of the cyber attackers, that kind of operations might not have any effect about the group itself. The persons who are operating those cyberattacks might use remote-controlled computers, which are controlled over the Internet by using a VPN connection, which allows the operators to sit even to another side of the Atlantic ocean.
And in the worst case, those computers are taken there without the people, who are living in those houses what means that the airstrikes can kill innocent civilians. Civilian casualties are things, what terrorists would want because that gives sympathy for them, and when we are thinking about houses in somewhere restless areas, those servers and computers can be used also delivering "deep web" material. That means that normal criminals can buy the needed material for terrorists, and give them the needed micro support. And for the return service, those people can deliver prohibited and illegal data to the Internet.
This is the reason, why police would use SWAT-team in that kind of actions. Then those law enforcements can take fingerprints and other evidence from those devices, what will be destroyed in an airstrike by the bombs, and there is very few evidence, what can be collected from the destroyed site.
The most qualified persons with the best ICT-skills of that organizations would ever sit on those places. Airstrike will kill those people, who might only copypaste things or follow the orders, what somebody will give them by using some social media application.
The rule in those cyber operations is similar to other military actions are they legal or illegal. The field team ever knows important things. But they can notice if the person who is another side of social media application speaks or writes something with strange ways, or uses some strange words, what would uncover the identity of those supporters or control team. If a person is tired that inmate can give own email address accidentally in the discussions in the social media.
One wrong name in the discussions might uncover the identity of the speaker. So the idea of the strikes must be that there is something, what can be used to track the people, who have bought those computers, and the thing is that the supporters of those groups would be tracked by using the information, like serial numbers of microchips.
