Her answer Al-Qaeda: Last year, after the Snowden leaks, the US government warned that the revelations would make the agency's work much more difficult, which according to protocol is to monitor those who seek to harm the United States, and to report impending terrorist attacks.
In response to revelations about the NSA's actions, al-Qaeda terrorists have begun using stronger encryption techniques to avoid leaks, according to a recent report published by threat intelligence and analysis company, Recorded Future.
The analysis conducted by the intelligence corporation revealed that major terrorist organizations such as al-Qaeda changed cryptography software for the first time in seven years after the revelations of the US NSA's actions by Edward Snowden .
As you already know, Al-Qaeda is a global military, Islamic organization that operates like a network that includes a multinational army and a radical Muslim Sunni movement that is trying to make a global jihad.
Από το 2007, η Αl-Qaeda χρησιμοποιούσε ένα δικό της ενσωματωμένο λογισμικό κρυπτογράφησης, το Mujahideen Secrets για τις online συνδέσεις αλλά και για τις τηλεφωνικές επικοινωνίες της. Η εταιρεία πληροφοριών Recorded Future, παρατήρησε ότι τώρα χρησιμοποιούν ορισμένα νέα εργαλεία κρυπτογράφησης και έχουν υιοθετήσει νέες services such as mobile telephony, instant messaging, but also Mac computers, to hide their communications.
"The nature of these new crypto products shows the strategy of using stronger and broader encryption in the West (mainly the US)," the report said.
The three different terrorist organizations associated with Al-Qaeda (GIMF, the Al-Fajr Technical Committee and ISIS) released three new large encryption tools within three to five months of Snowden's first leaks, according to the report .
These three tools come to augment the original Mujahideen Secrets encryption tool, which primarily usesfor Al-Qaeda's email since 2007.
Recorded Future lists Al-Qaeda's three tools. If you are interested you can see their website.
