It comes as a warning from intelligence expert Paul Buchanan, who says a ban on the website 4chan is not foolproof, after a threat aimed at two Christchurch mosques was posted on the site this week. Police allege he made the threats on 4chan, a website frequently used by extremists and white supremacists. Buchanan said New Zealand's intelligence agencies, the SIS (New Zealand Security Intelligence Service) and the GCSB (Government Communications Security Bureau) should take that as a "matter of priority concern".
