AVN - Like Al-Qaeda ISIS Hides Messages in Porn
"LOS ANGELES—Terrorists concealing communications in porn is hardly new. Even before 9/11, national security officials were onto the use of porn by various terror groups, including al-Qaeda, which for years after the attacks in New York and Washington continued to use porn as a way to hide messages, as AVN reported on in 2012. But even in 2008, officials were also warning that "terrorists might be occupying virtual worlds, including Second Life, to meet and share ideas."
...
And of course, the world is well aware of the porn stash discovered by Navy Seals in the Abbottabad hideout of al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden. Following such an active history with porn, one would think that these groups would have moved on to other means to avoid detection, and while these Islamic terrorists seem to have a soft spot for porn, Gideon’s Spies reveals that in fact they have.
Not only did agents discover that al-Qaeda was using steganography to encrypt "messages in goods offered for sale on eBay," but "several other Mossad operatives spent their time tracking the Internet message board Reddit. More than once, it had led an operator to a terrorist using hexadecimal characters and prime numbers. Decoded, they sometimes indicated an attack was being planned or even about to happen.""
