ISIS encrypted communications with Paris attackers, French officials say

The investigation into last Friday's coordinated terrorist attacks has quickly turned up evidence that members of the Islamic State (ISIS) communicated with the attackers from Syria using encrypted communications, according to French officials.

Former CIA Deputy Director Michael Morell said in an interview on CBS' Face the Nation on Sunday, "I think what we're going to learn is that these guys are communicating via these encrypted apps, this commercial encryption which is very difficult or nearly impossible for governments to break, and the producers of which don't produce the keys necessary for law enforcement to read the encrypted messages."

Adam Moore (LÆMEUR), lnxwalt@microca.st, lnxwalt@microca.st shared this.

my guess is they would probably not only encrypt but aso try to make it very hard to find .. like hiding data inside something very ordinary such as looking like part of the background noise in something that looks innocent and commonplace eg like cat videos on facebook/youtube/etc could be anything -

I doubt they would be using anything that shows any obvious hints that there is anything to decrypt

the nsa would be wasting their time if they are snooping on tor users
