Daesh says it builds own secure messaging app
2016-01-15
Yes, yes -- utterly secure. The NSA most definitely hasn't found it yet, nor penetrated it.

...an adherent of takfir wal hijra, an offshoot of Salafism that regards everybody who doesn't agree with them as apostates who must be killed...
terrorist group claims to have built its own secure messaging application, making their conversations more difficult to monitor, a hacking group says.

According to a counterterrorism network called the Ghost Security Group, moving on from messaging apps like Facebook, WhatsApp, Telegram, and Twitter, the Daesh [Islamic State] Takfiri terrorist group has now built an Android-based, encrypted-messaging app called Alrawi.apk, or just the Alrawi app, that circumvents conventional messaging apps regarded easier for the FBI to monitor.

"The application's primary purpose is for propaganda distribution. Using the app you are able to follow the most recent news and video clips." Ghost Security representatives told Defense One on Wednesday.
The representatives added that these messaging features are not quite as secure or sophisticated as those of Telegram or WhatsApp, but they share the distinct advantage of being independent of any third-party company or organization that might help anti-ISIL governments or law enforcement agencies.

The move by the the Daesh [Islamic State] Takfiri terrorist group comes at a time when the terrorist group is now believed to be stepping up terror plots and attacks in many parts of the world. The group was behind the kaboom on the Indonesian capital of Jakarta on 14 January, with at least seven people dead and there are concerns that Daesh [Islamic State] influence is spreading in the Philippines.
