AGARTALA, Aug 28 (TIWN): Lack of cyber security knowledge among the security intelligence of the entire Northeast is the prime reason behind the expansion of the terror threats in the state, especially in Tripura.

In Northeast India there have been very poor respond to cyber security process. In Tripura this lack of knowledge in cyber security has resulted in panic. Not only terrorism but it has been seen that various parts of the state is using the corridor for all narcotic business.

In recent years, terrorist organizations have increasingly turned to the Internet as an alternative training ground for terrorists. There is a growing range of media that provide platforms for the dissemination of practical guides in the form of online manuals, audio and video clips, information and advice.

These Internet platforms also provide detailed instructions, often in easily accessible multimedia format and multiple languages, on topics such as how to join terrorist organizations; how to construct explosives, firearms or other weapons or hazardous materials; and how to plan and execute terrorist attacks.

In such situation it is quintessential for our security intelligence to be aware about the Internet based expansion of terrorism.  Only due to the state government failure and lack of machinery in controlling the crime threats in Tripura has resulted in the expansion if terror at tacks in the state.

It is to be mentioned here  that the platforms act as a virtual training camp. They are also used to share, inter alia, specific methods, techniques or operational knowledge for the purpose of committing an act of terrorism.

While terrorists have developed many ways to use the Internet in furtherance of illicit purposes, their use of the Internet also provides opportunities for the gathering of intelligence and other activities to prevent and counter acts of terrorism, as well as for the gathering of evidence for the prosecution of such acts.

A significant amount of knowledge about the functioning, activities and sometimes the targets of terrorist organizations is derived from website, chat room and other Internet communications.

Further, increased Internet use for terrorist purposes provides a corresponding increase in the availability of electronic data which may be compiled and analysed for counter-terrorism purposes. Law enforcement, intelligence and other authorities are developing increasingly sophisticated tools to proactively prevent, detect and deter terrorist activity involving use of the Internet.
