A few Islamic State operatives have been contacting
sympathetic prospective jihadis abroad via the internet
to supply them with instruction and practical advice for
carrying out terrorist acts. Some analysts have called
this a “game-changer.” However, the cybercoaching
enterprise is fraught with difficulties. Above all,
cybercoaches have little or no control over their charges
who are very often naïve, voluble, incautious, gullible,
incapable, and/or troubled. Moreover, the advice of the
cybercoaches has often been anything but sagacious,
and law enforcement operatives have often been able
to enter the plot to undermine the effort entirely
