He included a warning that Islamic State &#8220;soldiers . . . will strike at your necks in your own lands!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Later that month, Hussain, who went by the nom de guerre Abu Hussain al-Britani, was killed in a drone strike in Syria.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>A few months ago, Ferizi hacked into a commercial retailer&#8217;s servers and stole information on about 100,000 customers, then he sent the PII on about 1300 service members that he found in his score to the Islamic State. <\/p>\n<p>Didn&#8217;t we just spend billions of dollars protecting Kosovo from the Serbs? I seem to remember something about that. I guess no good deed goes unpunished when you&#8217;re the United States. Well, I&#8217;m sure this State Department will not have any trouble extraditing this fellow, you know since we have so much good will in the world&#8217;s community of nations. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Stars &#038; Stripes reports that Ardit Ferizi, a Kosovar hacker was arrested in Malaysia for &hellip; <a title=\"Ardit Ferizi, Kosovar hacker arrested\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=62349\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Ardit Ferizi, Kosovar hacker arrested<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":62350,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-62349","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-terror-war"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/62349","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=62349"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/62349\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/62350"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=62349"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=62349"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=62349"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
