In a matter of concern, the Indian security agencies in a meeting raised an issue that the terrorist group ISIS is trying to strengthen its organization by recruiting terrorists online, despite the ongoing coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic.
The terrorist organisation is also teaching terrorists involved in the group how to avoid the radar of security agencies while using the internet.
A cybersecurity magazine called ‘The Supporter’s Security’, linked to ISIS, published in May, describes what precautions are to be taken on social media by which one can avoid the security agencies.
This 24-page magazine also describes how to be cautious while using smartphones and computers.
Since this report, online activities of terrorist organizations are being closely monitored.
According to experts, ISIS is also plotting to spread jihad through a special video game which security agencies are worried about. ISIS in an article in its online magazine ‘The Voice of Hind’ in April had incited its supporters to attack amid the ongoing pandemic.❑
