a. France
b. UK
c. US
d. None of the above

ANSWER: UK
 
UK Spies are constructing elite cyberoffensive forces to strike at IS fighters and hackers. IS has been trying to develop the capacity to attack British infrastructure such as ATC systems, hospitals and power networks. Britain will also boost spending on cyberdefences and make its cyberstructure simpler apart from building cyber capacity to attack adversaries. This new cyberattack force will be run jointly between GCHQ and defence ministry.
