Instead, a link to the download is shared between IS members through Telegram app and other encrypted communication methods. According to Ghost security group, the app is not available as a download in a marketplace like Google Play store. Discovered by the hacking collective Ghost security group, the app was designed to “streamline access” to the terrorist group’s “propaganda”. It claims to have “terminated over 100,000 extremist social media accounts” used by militant groups to recruit members. IS has also created its own social network for jihadists called “Kilafahbook” to get around social media bans by Twitter, Facebook and YouTube.
