[OneIndia] Officials have learnt that the account fb.com/shaanti.patel.89737, had managed to lure some persons in the establishment and get information.
The ISI appears to be on overdrive mode and the National Investigation Agency (NIA) is now probing a case where the spy agency of Pakistain is attempting to inject a malware into the computers and phones of defence personnel.
The agency took over the probe after an account named fb.com/shaanti.patel.89737, managed to gain unauthorised accedes to restricted data of computer resources.
Intelligence Bureau officials have been keeping a close watch on such activities for sometime now. Recently the Andhra Pradesh police launched a probe into the matter based on source based information. Following this the officers and soldiers were told to delete several social networking, micro-blogging and gaming applications including Facebook and Instagram.
Officials have learnt that the account fb.com/shaanti.patel.89737, had managed to lure some persons in the establishment and get information. It is a classic case of honey trapping an official tells OneIndia.
An assessment by the Intelligence agencies earlier this said that honey trapping would continue to remain one of the key concerns for the security agencies.
The honey trap wing of the ISI is being run from Faridkot. Since 2015, the ISI has earmarked a budget of nearly Rs 3,500 crore for this unit. This only goes on to show, how important the unit is for the ISI.
After a trap is laid, the information is either elicited through blackmail or in the lure for cash.
The ISI agents, who set the trap pay anything between Rs 5 lakh to Rs 10 lakh for the information.
The amount would however depend on the rank of the officer. The higher the rank, higher the money.
The Union Home Ministry was recently told by the Intelligence Agencies that in 2017, a fresh push was made by Pakistain to trap as many young recruits of the Indian Army. The traps were being set on those who had just joined the Army and as well as on those who were in the process of joining the forces. The Anika Chopra case is part of the same plan, IB officials say.
The ISI has been looking to trap as many as 200 such young recruits and recent investigations showed that the Pakistain agents were already in touch with over 50 of them. When the police had arrested Gaurav Kumar, a resident of Rohtak, they found that he was asked to click pictures, each time he visited the Army training camp. He had plans of joining the Indian Army and was training for the same.
He had already been trapped before he could join the forces. It was found that he had visited 18 Army recruitment camps from where he is alleged to have shared a lot of information.
Not only do the operations run from Faridkot, but the ISI has also managed to set up dedicated modules within India to honey trap officials. There are modules in Rajasthan, Gujarat ...where rioting seems to be a traditional passtime... , Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh, which exclusively report to the Faridkot.
The ISI agents first create a fake profile on the social media and then begin chatting. Once they find that the target is vulnerable, they lead him to the Hookup chat site. Over here the information is shared. The biggest problem that Sherlocks face is that once a person logs out of Hookup, the chats are automatically deleted.
Officials tell OneIndia that the problem is likely to get worse in the coming months. The challenge ahead is huge. The official however adds that while the problem has been immense, the agencies have however managed to nip such incidents in the bud. It could have been much worse had it not been detected early, the official also added.
A security source revealed that only a few ISIS members are still present in the Waqf Basin, between Al-Abbara and Abu Saida, 25 kilometers to the northeast of Baqubah.
The source told Shafaq News Agency, "No more than 16 ISIS elements are deployed in the Waqf Basin, including 17 villages."
"The surveillance cameras monitor daily the movements of terrorists in the agricultural villages."
"It is not possible to eliminate ISIS elements with missiles or mortar shells because they are present in residential villages, which would affect the civilian casualties."
The source denied that ISIS controls any village or hotspot in Diyala, especially since ISIS elements cannot appear publicly but attack at night with sniper weapons.
[Times of Israel] In a briefing to Hebrew media, unnamed IDF officials say the military believes the Hamas, the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood, terror group is not behind recent deadly terror attacks, but rather is "riding the wave" to encourage further violence.
This assessment has been presented to politicians. The military says it believes the recent attacks were not directed by organizations but were so-called lone-wolf attacks.
Officials also tell outlets they believe there is deterrence against Hamas in the Gazoo ...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamaswith about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response... Strip and the group is unlikely to seek a major escalation.
[JPost] As much a disruptive prick as he's been, could he possibly hate the Mideast Trump Peace this badly?
US President Joe Biden is considering a visit to Al Makassed Hospital, the largest Palestinian medical center in east Jerusalem, an Israeli source said on Monday. The visit, during Biden’s trip to Israel planned for next month, would be in the framework of an American initiative regarding the hospital.
Biden would visit the hospital unaccompanied by Israeli officials, which would be viewed as not recognizing Israeli sovereignty over that part of the capital.
No previous US presidents have made similar visits. Biden’s plan to visit east Jerusalem, in general, was first reported by Kan.
Though the Biden administration has sought to strengthen the current Israeli coalition government, the visit signifying a divided Jerusalem would likely spark disputes within the coalition.
The visit would be in the framework of an American initiative regarding the hospital, which could mean renewed funding after the Trump administration cut $25 million to the East Jerusalem Hospitals Network, of which Al Makassed is a member.
Biden’s trip to Israel has not yet been finalized, but is expected to be scheduled around the G7, which is on June 26-28.
Then Press Secretary Jen Psaki said on Wednesday in response to a query whether Biden's visit to Israel would occur on the tail end of his June visit to Europe, that while the president was "looking forward to coming, but we haven’t quite locked in the date yet."
Ahead of the visit, The White House denounced Bennett's approval and advancement of 3,988 Israeli homes in Judea and Samaria. According to N12, the White House conditioned Biden's trip on the issue.
"Israel’s program of expanding settlements deeply damages the prospect for a two-state solution," Deputy State Department spokesperson Jalina Porter told reporters on Friday.
Biden's consideration of a visit to east Jerusalem comes as tensions spike over issues of sovereignty over the territory. On Sunday a Palestinian Authority spokesperson said that the "State of Palestine" had rights to east Jerusalem and the Temple Mount.
The US president is also set to meet Jordan's King Abdullah later this week, Reuters reported.

What if a... random Abdul... were to... you know, rush at him with a machete or something. Just thinking aloud.
Naah, after SS had shot the bastitch, the old dunce would likely conclude, "Well gee whiz, we musta really oppressed these folks by arming the Jews all this while, to get that in the way of gratitude!" And he'd go back to correct the 'moral errors' of his predecessors.
