Computerworld on Mujahideen Secrets 2

Computerworld interviewed me for their story on the new mujahideen encryption software.

It's a good article overall, but it misconstrues my comment about where this stands in the history of terrorist technology.

For the record, I didn't say Secrets 2 fits in with the previous pattern of al Qaeda tech usage. Rather, I consider this a significant step forward. Al Qaeda has always been au courant with technology such as computers, password protection and Web presence. In contrast, Secrets 2 is bleeding-edge development of a type we haven't seen before. It's cause for concern.
