ISIS turns to foreign encryption products as Apple-FBI fight rages in U.S.
http://www.dailydot.com/politics/isis-apple-fbi-congressional-hearing-crypto-international/
FBI and Apple officials spent Tuesday afternoon on Capitol Hill,
debating American encryption laws with members of Congress.
Prompted by a case related to the ISIS-inspired terrorist attack
in San Bernardino, the intense discussion heavily focused on
thwarting the Islamic State. But ISIS supporters online didn't
seem worried at all. Instead, they've spent the week--and
longer--promoting strong encryption tools from outside the
United States that the American government cannot touch with
legislation. In the last month, Islamic State supporters have
promoted security software from Finland, Romania, America,
France, the Czech Republic, Canada, Panama, Germany,
Switzerland, Saint Kitts and Nevis, and other nations, a Daily
Dot review found.
