Rattled by the arrests of their “brothers” Islamists are scrambling to ensure the security of their on-line criminal activities. This from the a site called American Taliban:

“A guide providing information for safety and anonymity on the Internet, and circumventing procedures used by governments to identify users was recently posted to a jihadist forum. The author predicates the need for such a primer on the danger of having one’s personal identify and security compromised by government officials and hackers, and describes the means of infiltration into their profiles, software chat programs such as Messenger and PalTalk, and advice for web forum discussion and e-mailing.

Concerning the forums, a primary communication tools amongst the jihadi Internet community, the author describes the means by which Saudi authorities have accessed information regarding users, hiring monitors and tracking them electronically via IP information. The author also notes e-mail registration in Saudi Arabia, that any e-mail address ending with a “.sa” extension is not secure, so that the users should rather register addresses with anonymous accounts, such as Hotmail and Yahoo.”

For too long Islamist have used the Internet as virtual staging areas for their war against the innocent, it is time to use their arrogance against them. Report suspicious on-line activity to the F.B.I cyber tip line, and with any luck there will be more arrests in the future.
