Develop secure comms software, Snowden tells hackers

Comment: Snowden has a point, as it stands right now we are being hacked left and right....the NSA has their hooks into our privacy. Privacy has gone down the toilet. I feel encrypted communications software is the route to go.

The following article is a update on secure comms software

The Snowden leaks have not changed the way jihadi terorrists communicate, according to a new study.
A report by Flashpoint Partners concludes that jihadi/terrorist groups, their recruits and affiliates are making greater use of secure communications tools.
Yet the report ascribes this to the development of new encrypted communications packages by jihadists themselves rather than a reaction to leaks of top secret information about US surveillance programmes by whistleblower Edward Snowden.
Intelligence agencies such as Britain's GCHQ have claimed that terrorists have upped their game in cryptography as a result of Snowden's leaks about NSA spying, typically arguing that terrorists' communications in parts of the world had "gone dark" in the wake of the whistleblower's revelations.
