Terror Groups Use Pornography Sites and Encrypted Apps for Secret Messaging in Jammu and Kashmir

Analysed 30 Aug 2026·2 sources analysed·Pakistan·Politics
Terror Groups Use Pornography Sites and Encrypted Apps for Secret Messaging in Jammu and KashmirPreviousNext

Security agencies have uncovered that terror groups and Pakistan's ISI are using pornography websites and encrypted messaging apps to communicate covertly with recruits in Jammu and Kashmir. These platforms, which include real-time chat features disguised as dating services, help evade surveillance on conventional social media. Terror handlers also use Tor-based apps like Coatex and Conion, along with privacy-focused and anonymous platforms, complicating user identification. Authorities continue to monitor these specialized digital tools to counter such tactics.
