Terrorists are leaving secret messages in porn and on websites like eBay and Reddit to communicate with each other and plan future attacks, new book claims

Terrorists have developed several new techniques to communicate with each online by leaving coded messages on websites like eBay and Reddit, claims a new book.

The shocking discovery made by intelligence officers and code breakers in Israel, Britain and the United States revealed that seemingly innocuous chats are often much more, according to new sections in the book Gideon's Spies: The Secret History of the Mossad.

Code breakers found that al-Qaeda is now using a technique to encrypt its messages in goods offered for sale on eBay.

They use white letters and characters on a white background, which becomes visible when you select or left click the page.

They could register here at FR and use the Guatemala or El Salvador message boards and no one would even know.

This is not new (no offense to the poster). I remember hearing about this a decade ago.

The big deal about the color of a woman’s dress (black/blue vs. white/gold) is VERY odd to me.. What the hell was THAT all about? I think there’s more to that viral event than meets the eyes.

It became a big deal when the MSM herd got going...

I used to hear about embedding info in JPEG info files. Also in between the lines of video files. In draft email files of anonymous email boxes.

There are a whole lot of places to use as drop boxes.

Unless they’re using stolen credit cards to do it. If they never buy anything the person might never know. Except now that person is probably on a watch list.

Yep.

Terrorists are leaving secret messages in porn... I'll do a month of research and report back.

I should do a hands-on investigation myself.
