“The most difficult communication between these terrorists is via PlayStation 4. It’s very, very difficult for our services — not only Belgian services but international services — to decrypt the communication that is done via PlayStation 4.” stated a blog post on the Politico website.
How is it possible to use PlayStation for cover communications?
According to the experts, there are features in video games that allow to easily communicate when two or more individuals participate in a multiplayer game session.
In the popular game Call of Duty it is possible to pilot using bullets to pepper walls with holes, in this way it is also possible to write a text on the wall that disappears after a few seconds.
Not only bullet holes in Call of Duty, many experts noticed that the innocent games like Mario could be exploited for communication. this time, the messages could be arranged on the floor by using Mario coins.

Why PS4 is not so secure for the ISIS members’ communication?
Woah...I would never have guess that the PS4 would be used for that sort of thing...makes one wonder what else might be used for this sort of thing that one might not suspect to be the caase...not even in a month of Sundays.

+6I've said it before and i keep on repeating it. We left them messing around for far too long and now we have to resort to drastic measures like messing with the PS4 network. I'd like to quote the War Doctor's graffiti on Gallifrey.. "No More". It's high time we remove those critters from society on a more permanent basis.
