Social Networks & The Online Jihad
World Threats.com ^ | October 26, 2011 | Posted by Candice Lanier

SNIPPET: "In July, the British government warned that Al Qaeda’s exploitation of social networking websites is on the rise."

SNIPPET: "The massive and multifarious network of websites and social media has presented a challenge to authorities in trying to combat it. Additionally, civil liberty concerns have conflicted with government efforts to spy on communications.

Reducing terrorist activity on social media sites has been particularly difficult because users have adopted new forms of communication to conform with the new formats. Many Arabic speakers on Facebook, Twitter, MySpace and other sites use Arabizi, a form of colloquial Arabic written in the Latin alphabet and numbers. This allows the use of a standard English-language keyboard for typing messages. There exists, however, no standard version of Arabizi. It varies from country to country, even among groups within countries and is affected by differences in dialect."

Can the FBI do anything or are their hands tied with the MB-Hood in every corner of the intel community and a hostile slightly paranoid(*ahem* attackwatch.com) golfer in chief?

“Illinois Water Utility Pump Destroyed After Hack”
By Chloe Albanesius
November 18, 2011 05:28pm EST

SNIPPET: “Joe Weiss, managing partner at Applied Control Systems LLC, said in a Thursday blog post that cyber scammers hacked a Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition (SCADA) software vendor and stole customer usernames and passwords. During the hack, however, the SCADA system was powered on and off, burning out a water pump, he said.

Department of Homeland Security spokesman Peter Boogaard said officials were investigating the incident.”

“Water-pump failure in Illinois wasn’t cyberattack after all”

By Ellen Nakashima, Friday, November 25, 1:53 PM

SNIPPET: “A water-pump failure in Illinois that appeared to be the first foreign cyberattack on a public utility in the United States was in fact caused by a plant contractor traveling in Russia, according to a source familiar with a federal investigation of the incident.

Investigators analyzed log files and connections to foreign Internet protocol addresses within the utility’s computer system, said the source, who was not authorized to speak for attribution. “No indictors of malicious activity were found” in the computer system of the Curran-Gardner Townships Public Water District in Springfield, the source said.”
