Security Agencies Identify Porn Sites and Encrypted Apps Used for Terror Communications in J-K
Indian security agencies have uncovered that terror groups and Pakistan's ISI are using pornography websites with real-time chat features and encrypted messaging apps, including Tor-based platforms like Coatex and Conion, to communicate covertly with recruits in Jammu and Kashmir. These platforms offer anonymity and encryption, making surveillance difficult. Despite some apps being banned in India, operatives reportedly access them via VPNs. Agencies are monitoring various niche apps, including those based in France, Vietnam, and China, to counter these evolving communication tactics.
