- Supporter channels on RocketChat, Telegram, and Element reshared the call and pushed four ISIS videos released March 8–11, with at least 42 uploads later targeted for removal.
- The report notes active fundraising by ISIS supporters who shared links and bot tools to collect contributions alongside propaganda dissemination.
- ISIS-linked forums praised two suspects in the March 7 New York explosive-device case and glorified the March 12 Old Dominion University shooter Mohamed Bailor Jalloh, who killed Lt. Col. Brandon Shah and had a prior 2016 ISIS support conviction.
- ISIS claimed 24 attacks worldwide between March 8 and 14, including 13 in Nigeria and assertions in the Democratic Republic of the Congo of killing 17 fighters and taking about 100 captives, with additional claims in Somalia, Syria, Niger, and Pakistan.
