A compromised machine in Lebanon – most likely belonging to a person named قسورة (Qasura), a local ISIS cell commander – contained explosive synthesis manuals, jihadist propaganda, and locally stored XMPP chat logs that should have been encrypted. The chats reveal Qasura receiving direct instructions from Syria-based operatives, coordinating IED attacks that killed security personnel, requesting religious permission for torture, managing cross-border smuggling routes, handling money transfers through Turkey and Syria, and shipping detonator components across the region. Through this single compromised machine, we were able to map the entire cell hierarchy from local commander to senior leadership.
