Researcher Says Social Networks Link Terrorists
An anonymous reader writes "At the International Conference on Cyber Security 2009 in New York, Evan Kohlmann, a senior investigator and private consultant for Global Terror Alert, claimed that a new breed of terrorists are using online forums to recruit people who align themselves with the mission of Al Qaeda, creating global networks of would-be terrorists."
I've heard that terrorists also speak to people to recruit new members!
We should stop right now the use of language.
You are giving people too much credit.
we hear about it time and time again in all different aspects of life.
Sure, there might be some smart ones who try to slip under the radar, but most just don't have the technical ability to manage a secure network let alone use technical security methods.
do terrorist organisations have their own helpdesk?
"Hello Dell support, how can I help?"
"I can't get my warhead armed."
"Have you tried turning it off and back on again?"
