"German Islamists Target Youth on the Internet" By Christoph Sydow 11/01/2012
"Translated from the German by Christopher Sultan."

SNIPPET: "International terrorist groups like al-Qaida recognized the importance of the Internet for recruiting new supporters early on."
SNIPPET: "Intelligence services can also take advantage of the anonymity of Internet forums to deliberately plant false information or obtain insider information."

“Jerusalem bus driver charged with spying for Hezbollah”
By GABE FISHER November 25, 2012, 1:05 pm 2
SNIPPET: “The State Attorneys Office on Sunday indicted Jerusalem resident Issam Hashem Mashahara for spying on behalf of Hezbollah. The 38-year-old Israeli-Arab bus driver is a resident of Jabel Mukaber, an Arab neighborhood of East Jerusalem.”
SNIPPET: “The next day, he met the agents again and was taken, blindfolded, to meet a computer expert. Mashahara allegedly received encryption software designed to look like a childrens DVD in order to keep in contact with the organization upon his return to Israel, and about $1,500 in cash to aid him in carrying out his espionage activities.
Back in Israel several days later, he purchased a laptop and, per his instructions, set up a special Facebook account to continue his activities with Hezbollah.”

SNIPPET: “Social media is no longer simply a fun way to share updates on the harmless idiosyncrasies of our lives. It can undermine national security, and there ought to be a more robust discussion between the Bay Area technology world and Washington on what to do about it.
Cyber-terrorism, especially the potential for electronic tampering with U.S. industrial or military installations, is a paramount national security threat that Washington is working to forestall. We’re all working to protect our accounts from hackers. But the cyber-threat getting far less public attention involves the social media networks we use every day and the potential they have to trigger an unexpected crisis.”
