ISIS Help Desk Teaches Terrorists How to Use Encrypted Communication

A 24-hour Jihadi Help Desk is said to be teaching ISIS terrorists how to use encryption to prevent intelligence and law enforcement agencies from eavesdropping on their messages. The platform is believed to be highly decentralized and maintained by five or six core members with expert technical knowledge. Recruitment, propaganda and operational planning occurs through the same Help Desk and tools for one-to-one encrypted communication are made available to all members. FBI Director James Comey believes these new tools not only allow terrorist organizations to go dark, but also make it easier to recruit and spread propaganda through the internet.”]
