The Joint Threat Research Intelligence Group (JTRIG) is a unit of the Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ), the UK intelligence agency.[1]
Discovery
The group became public knowledge after the Edward Snowden Affair as it is mentioned in documents he publicised.[2]
Mission
The scope of the JTRIG's mission includes using "dirty tricks" to "destroy, deny, degrade [and] disrupt" enemies by "discrediting" them, planting misinformation and shutting down their communications.[2][3] Known as "Effects" operations, the work of JTRIG had become a "major part" of GCHQ's operations by 2010.
Activities
A document published by Glen Greenwald details a long list of software packages, some operational, some planned, for mass surveillance and other cyberespionage purposes. [4]
Documents leaked by Edward Snowden reveal that JTRIG use computer viruses to make people's computers unusable, including encrypting of deleting files or emails.[5][6]
According to documents released to NBC News by Edward Snowden, JTRIG's role is to "deny, disrupt, degrade and deceive". This includes use of DDOS attacks on chatrooms.[7]
