Civilian internet applications now offer militant groups access to
intelligence that rivals information given to government spies, Israel's
domestic security chief said.

Shin Bet director Yuval Diskin, in a rare public address, identified cyber
technologies as an ascendant international security threat. 

"Intelligence once enjoyed only by countries and world powers can now be
obtained through internet systems like Google Earth, internet cameras that
are deployed all over the world and linked to the web, or applications for
iPhone devices that allow for quality intelligence to be received in
real-time," he said. 

 

Mr Diskin was speaking at a homeland security conference in Tel Aviv. 

In what appeared to be an allusion to two parcel bombs found on US-bound
planes on Friday

tactic had featured in "mounting debates" among Islamist militant groups
over the internet on how to exploit international aviation.
