Hackers Cripple al-Qaida Web Communications

[Guest]

We all know Al-Qobra is CIA and MI6. Even Toms is not immune to publishing government propaganda as news.

[citation][nom]jvc21[/nom]While I commemorate them for halting their communications, I'm not sure it's a good idea to 'nurture' them as the next authority figures of the internet. I certainly don't want them getting access to my personal information.[/citation]
What they are talking about is that typically yesterday's hackers become todays security experts.

Nurture them to become authorities? Organizations like Anonymous and LulzSec that are notorious for virtual crimes are not made up of new people trying to find their way on the internet. Their members chose to do what they did.

Governments should not rely on them as internet authorities for the same reason governments don't rely mercenaries defend their countries; there is no guarantee of loyalty and therefore no guarantee of control. What Kemshall doesn't seem to understand is that the hackers committed extremely destructive crimes. Trying to "get them on our side" would both condone what they did and enable them to commit the same things again.

[citation][nom]nebun[/nom]i did not think that these rag-heads knew how to use a computer....i guess they've upgraded the cave system[/citation]
my friends little brother plays a game called conquer online by t.q. digital (basically a diablo2 chinese rip off) and those 50-60 servers are dominated by egyptian, syrian, yemenese and arabian players despite it being a world wide mmo, and from what i saw most of the botting and hacking was done by the eggy's. only thing i was shocked about was that there were so many of them with the time and money to play.

Yeaaaahhh, just like WikiLeaks, and LulzSec. It seems even Anonymous is looking more and more like a U.S. black ops organization conducting digital activities that end up supporting the institutions they hate and back firing on the public right at the precise time the Internet is being debated in congress with the PROTECT IP Act. Way to go douche bag agent provocateurs

Is it possible that the hackers are doing a disservice by disrupting the intelligence community's ability to monitor terrorist activities? If we are on to how they communicate, we should not tell them what we know or disrupt it. We should use it to listen in and find out their weaknesses, their plans, and their identities.

about time

i guess installing McAfee, Symantec, Kaspersky, AVG, Microsoft, whatever is not enough. We're doomed.

pffft... web security is a joke. botnets are in charge; not hackers.

[citation][nom]xbeater[/nom]I don't understand that you are all so scared of the terrorist threat.I've lived in the middle east for multiple years, and I sware I've never felt safer any other place. The people are very nice here, and Al-Qaeda, the locals here believe it is actually a made up scare by the US Gov't, in order to control the population, and make them seem like heroes when they do something about the terrorist threatPersonally I find their theory very believable due to evidence from past events, and hence whether this article is even true. NBC News is American right? See if this came from a UK news broadcast or otherwise, I might believe it more, but it's American...This all seems far to convenient for as far as I'm concerned.[/citation]Oh yes, my friend! Just the other day I was blowing up my neighbor Habeeb's house (he looked at my goat lustfully), when I was telling Al-Jahar that I saw an American broadcast about oxygen. They were claiming that it was necessary for us to live! Such obvious lies.

Judging from the gleeful comments above, I can see where you guys are coming from, your political beliefs and all I mean, and that I'm probably going to get flamed for this, but here goes:
Article mentions 'communications system'. What does that mean? a radio or tv station? A satellite? A server??? There is some mention of 'digital distribution', so I'm assuming that this means some online website? If this is the case, I don't see the link or even the name of said websites here.

This article doesn't hold water. It's just more pro-war propaganda BS from the mainstream media. (I actually checked the MSNBC link above, and also searched for articles on last year's similar 'hacker attack'. Most of the stories were written in the sensational style that I've seen from stories later exposed as mainstream trash & lies. You can see patterns in the choice of words / phrases, and the lack of any real facts & details ...)

You could be right.

1. Dude the middle eastern sheikhs and dictatorships don't want any trouble in their own countries and are very very harsh to offenders. Having said that, you might have noticed that Pakistan is pretty much in deep shit right now, so is Yemen.

2. Yes certain pakistani's seem to have similar opinions about Al-Qaida not existing as well. Isn't that convenient on the Middle-Eastern and Pakistani governments' part? Clearly the Afghans don't think so. Neither do all NATO soldiers who've been fighting them ever since.

3. THE UK GOVERNMENT HACKED INTO A SITE OF THEIRS ONCE.
