Security analyst Bismillah Taban has claimed that the Taliban are operating a “cyber army” with members based in Western countries. Writing on X, he stated that investigations into fake accounts used to harass and discredit opponents reveal activity from time zones in Europe, the US, and East Asia.
Taban argues that the group is using digital platforms to impose its narrative and silence critics globally. These findings suggest the Taliban’s propaganda warfare has expanded well beyond Afghanistan’s borders, leveraging modern technology for their agenda.
The presence of active Taliban cyber operatives within democratic nations raises new legal and security concerns. This revelation highlights how extremist groups exploit free speech platforms in the West to conduct coordinated harassment campaigns.
