Angela Ricketts’ husband is in the United States Army. On February 10, 2015, she received a text message. Dear Angela! it read. “Bloody Valentine’s Day!” “We know everything about you, your husband and your children,” the Facebook message continued. The writer claimed to represent the Islamic State, or IS militant group. The message said the militants had gained control of her computer and telephone. Ricketts was one of five military wives who received death threats from the self-declared CyberCaliphate. However, they were not from IS. The Associated Press says it has found evidence that the women were targeted by a Russian group known for attacking computers. It reportedly is the same group that was active during the U.S. presidential election campaign two years ago. The Russian hackers released emails from John Podesta, the chairman of Hillary Clinton’s presidential election campaign.
