Her answer Al-Qaeda: Last year, after the Snowden leaks, the US government warned that disclosures would make it much harder for the agency to work, according to the protocol, to monitor those trying to harm the United States and to disclose forthcoming terrorist attacks.
In response to revelations about NSA activities, Al-Qaeda terrorists have begun using more powerful techniques encryptions 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 functions as one network which includes a multinational army and a radical movement of Sunni Muslims striving for global jihad.
Since 2007, Al-Qaeda has been using its own embedded encryption software, Mujahideen Secrets, to 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 υπηρεσίες όπως τη κινητή τηλεφωνία, το instant messaging, but also Macs, to hide their communications.
"OR nature of these new crypto products shows the strategy of using stronger and wider cryptography in the West (mainly the US),” the report says.
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 reinforce the original Mujahideen Secrets encryption tool, which is primarily used for al-Qaeda email from 2007.
Recorded Future lists Al-Qaeda's three tools. If you are interested you can see their website.
