Al-Qaeda is changing encryption software

Her answer Al-Qaeda: Πέρυσι, μετά τις διαρροές από τον Snowden, η κυβέρνηση των ΗΠΑ προειδοποίησε ότι οι αποκαλύψεις θα κάνουν πολύ πιο δύσκολο το έργο της ς, που σύμφωνα με το πρωτόκολλο είναι να παρακολουθεί αυτούς που προσπαθούν να βλάψουν τις Ηνωμένες Πολιτείες, και να γνωστοποιεί επικείμενες τρομοκρατικές επιθέσεις.

In response to revelations about NSA activities, Al-Qaeda terrorists have begun using more powerful techniques s in order 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.
Since 2007, Al-Qaeda has been using its own embedded encryption software, Mujahideen Secrets, for online αλλά και για τις τηλεφωνικές επικοινωνίες της. Η εταιρεία πληροφοριών Recorded Future, παρατήρησε ότι τώρα χρησιμοποιούν ορισμένα νέα εργαλεία κρυπτογράφησης και έχουν υιοθετήσει νέες υπηρεσίες όπως τη κινητή τηλεφωνία, το 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 augment the original Mujahideen Secrets encryption tool, which is primarily used for electronic of Al-Qaeda since 2007.

Recorded Future lists Al-Qaeda's three tools. If you are interested you can see their website.
