The increasing use by terror group Lashkar-e-Taiba of Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) for communication, and its impenetrability, is proving frustrating for Indian intelligence. In fact, Lashkar supreme commander of operations, Zaki-ur Rehman Lakhvi, who is in a Rawalpindi jail, has been networking using a private VoIP on his smart phone with Lashkar cadres.........
VoIP is a technology that delivers audio and video messages over the internet. It's distinct from phone as it converts audio signals into binary data. VoIP also allows encryption of data, which makes it difficult to decode messages.....
Muridke (Lahore) based Lashkar known for using technology more than any other terror group in Kashmir, has its own private VoIP, Ibotel, to communicate with its cadres in Pakistan and Kashmir.
Ibotel, Lashkar's exclusive VoIP that runs on GPRS (mobile data service on 2G or 3G cellular communication system), was created by Lashkar's own tech team. The group began recruiting technicians, engineers and information technology executives almost a decade ago to intensify its operations across India...............
Lashkar, which is headed by Hafiz Saeed against whom the US recently announced a $10 million bounty for his alleged role in the November 2008 Mumbai attacks, started using VoIP as soon as the technology became common in early 2000s. Lashkar's handlers used VoIP during the Mumbai attacks..............
The VoIP network is frustrating India's intelligence community because it means they can no longer trace the group's members as it is far harder to spy on than email or commercial VoIP services.
The problem was not India specific. Other countries are also unable to intercept the contents of VoIP messages.........
