Hackers trace ISIS Twitter accounts back to UK Government Internet addresses - GoFuckYourself.com

Teenage computer experts unveil astonishing web of unpublicised interactions linking extremist social media mouthpieces to the British government

Hackers have claimed that a number of Islamic State supporters' social media accounts are being run from internet addresses linked to the Department of Work and Pensions.

A group of four young computer experts who call themselves VandaSec have unearthed evidence indicating that at least three ISIS-supporting accounts can be traced back to the DWP's London offices.

Every computer and mobile phone logs onto the internet using an IP address, which is a type of identification number.

The hacking collective showed Mirror Online details of the IP addresses used by a trio of separate digital jihadis to access Twitter accounts, which were then used to carry out online recruitment and propaganda campaigns.

At first glance, the IP addresses seem to be based in Saudi Arabia, but upon further inspection using specialist tools they appeared to link back to the DWP.

UK is full of jockeys. Some jockeys work in government jobs. Some jockeys are ISIS fans. Nothing shocking.

I am not familiar with UK's agencies.
OP says Department for Work & Pensions and you say GCHQ (which looks like some security/spy agency). Those 2 sound different.

I do not believe they have any/many of them in spy agencies, but believe they have some/many of them working in department for work and pensions.

The Cabinet Office has now admitted to selling the IP addresses on to Saudi Telecom and the Saudi-based Mobile Telecommunications Company earlier this year as part of a wider drive to get rid of a large number of the DWP's IP addresses^^^

Never seen an assigned block on a #whois [ip] return?
Most mobile IPs are proxy cache IPs and on the host's webserver logs they are not accurate geo-locators.

Social media is mostly mobile today
Messaging apps are 99%+ mobile

And he got paid to write that?
