GCHQ, the British signals intelligence agency, prepared the

following slides for a top-secret spy conference in 2012, describing

cyber operations. The slides focus on the efforts of a unit, the Joint

several other tactics. Documents previously published by NBCNews showed JTRIG engaged in cyber attacks on the hacktivist
