Washington, June 12(ANI): Extremist groups are urging each other to step up their online security in the wake of recent revelations of US snoop programme 'Prism'.
CEO of IntelCenter, which monitors open-source extremist communications for government clients, Ben Venzke said that the Jihadi groups in the coming weeks will go through an evolution of security measures which may include stopping the use of internet communication services listed in the spy system, reports Washington Times.
According to the report, Google, Microsoft, Yahoo, Facebook, Skype, YouTube, Paltalk, Apple and AOL are the nine companies whose servers are monitored including tracking user data.
Online jihadists have urged other comrades to increase the use of encyption tools, including the Arabic language computer encryption, which can shield electronic communication from surveillance by scrambling the data of which it is composed.
The report added that the revelation will not hurt counterterrorism efforts because terrorists already know their communications are being monitored and there is no scope that it would remotely jeopardize the nation's security. (ANI)
