FATF report flags misuse of digital platforms in terror attacks
NEW DELHI: The Financial Action Task Force (FATF) on Tuesday warned about the use of e-commerce platforms and virtual private networks (VPNs) by terrorists to procure explosives or arrange funds, citing the example of the February 2019 Pulwama suicide bombing and April 2022 Gorakhnath temple terror attack. A flag with the logo of the Financial Action Task Force, FATF, waves in the wind next to the German national falg during a meeting of the task force at the Congress Center in Berlin, Germany.(AP) In its latest report titled 'Comprehensive update on terrorist financing risks', the multilateral financial watchdog said it has received inputs from delegations and publicly available sources regarding state sponsorship of terrorism, including by groups designated by the United Nations. The FATF didn't specifically name any country. However, India has repeatedly asserted at international forums that Pakistan openly supports UN-listed terror groups such as Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM). Citing the 2019 Pulwama suicide attack that killed 40 Indian troopers as a case study for misuse of e-commerce platforms for terror financing, the report said: 'Investigations revealed the cross-border management of a large quantity of explosives into India. Notably, a key component of the improvised explosive device used in the attack - aluminium powder - was procured through the EPOM [e-commerce platform and online marketplace] Amazon. This material was used to enhance the impact of the blast.' To be sure, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) had said in its Pulwama attack charge sheet that one of the accused, Waiz-ul-Islam, a resident of Srinagar, had helped the main planner Umar Farooq in procuring explosives from Amazon. Forty Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) personnel were killed in the terror attack on February 14, 2019, triggering the Indian Air Force (IAF)'s air strike on a JeM terror camp deep inside Pakistan 12 days later. This resulted in a dogfight between combat jets of the two nations on February 27. 'The possibility that States may choose to provide financial or other forms of support to organisations that engage in terrorist acts is a longstanding terror financing threat to international peace and security, as well as to the stability of regional financial and political systems,' the report said. 'Moreover, it undermines the effectiveness of FATF activities that are intended to support governments in adopting best practices to detect, deter and otherwise disrupt terror financing,' it said, adding that support by states was provided in the form of direct financial support, logistical and material support, of the provision of training. On the use of online payment service and VPNs by terrorists, the FATF report referred to the April 3, 2022 attack on security personnel at Gorakhnath temple by an Islamic State-inspired terrorist, Murtaza Abbasi. 'The financial investigation revealed that individual A transferred INR 669,841 (USD 7,685) via PayPal to foreign countries in support of ISIL, using international third party transactions and using VPN services to obscure the IP address,' the report said. 'The forensic report revealed that the accused had been using a VPN for calling, chatting, and downloading to evade detection. Further financial scrutiny uncovered that the accused had made a payment to a VPN provider through his bank account to secure these services,' the report said. 'A comprehensive analysis of the accused's PayPal transactions, obtained via email, indicated that approximately forty-four international third-party transactions totaling ₹669,841 (approximately USD 7,736) had been made to foreign accounts. Additionally, the accused received funds from a foreign account through PayPal. The investigation also uncovered that the accused had sent money to multiple individuals identified as ISIL followers in the foreign jurisdictions to support terror activities,' it said. The global watchdog had last month condemned the April 22 Pahalgam attack, saying it could not have occurred without money and means to move funds between terrorist supporters, which Indian officials described as an important first direct statement by the FATF. 'Terrorist attacks kill, maim and inspire fear around the world. The FATF notes with grave concern and condemns the brutal terrorist attack in Pahalgam on 22 April 2025. This, and other recent attacks, could not occur without money and the means to move funds between terrorist supporters,' the statement by FATF said.

Mark Zuckerberg now hires top Apple exec for the unit that made OpenAI 'shutdown' for one-full week
It seems Facebook-and Instagram parent Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg is still not done shopping talent for his new AI superintelligence unit. According to a report in Bloomberg, Apple's head of AI models, Ruoming Pang , is leaving the iPhone maker to work at Meta. This marks the latest high-ranking AI executive that Mark Zuckerberg has poached to be part of his new AI superintelligence unit. With this, the Apple exec joins an array of talent Zuckerberg has poached in recent months, including leaders from Google DeepMind, OpenAI , and Safe Superintelligence. Pang is said to be a key part of Apple's in-house team that trained the AI foundation models that are said to underpin Apple Intelligence and other on-device AI features. Pang is reported to offer expertise in designing small, on-device AI models to Meta. Sources told Bloomberg that Ruoming Pang's departure might be the first of many in Apple's troubled AI unit. Meta's aggressive hiring drive for AI talent Meta Platforms is reported to be racing to secure top AI talent for its newly created Superintelligence Labs to better compete with rivals including OpenAI, Google and Anthropic. The Facebook and Instagram parent's aggressive hiring for its unified AI initiative has intensified the talent war in Silicon Valley. OpenAI Chief Research Officer warning to employees ChatGPT-maker OpenAI recently announced a rare company-wide shutdown to give employees time to recharge after months of grueling 80-hour workweeks. According to a report by Wired, the temporary closure comes as the ChatGPT maker fights to retain top talent amid Meta's aggressive $100 million recruitment offers. Chief Research Officer Mark Chen is said to have warned employees in an internal Slack memo that Meta would likely exploit the shutdown period to pressure OpenAI researchers into making quick decisions. "Meta knows we're taking this week to recharge and will take advantage of it to try and pressure you to make decisions fast and in isolation," Mark Chen wrote, in the memo as seen by Wired. Meta's superintelligence lab has hired Lucas Beyer, Alexander Kolesnikov, Xiaohua Zhai, and Trapit Bansal; a foundational contributor to OpenAI's o1 model. Who replaces Ruoming Pang at Apple With Pang's departure, the AFM team will now reportedly be headed by Zhifeng Chen. In a change from a structure under Pang where most of the engineers reported to him directly, the report said that there will be a new organizational layout that includes multiple managers reporting to Chen, who will then have engineers reporting to them. Apple's overall AI strategy is now run primarily by Craig Federighi, Apple's head of software engineering, and Mike Rockwell, who helped create the Apple Vision Pro headset and now leads engineering for Siri.

Terrorists using e-commerce, crypto and social media to raise funds, FATF warns
The FATF report highlights the increasing misuse of e-commerce, social media, and online payments for terror financing, noting gaps in countries' abilities, including India, to understand and counter these trends. Terrorists are adapting by integrating digital technologies with conventional methods, using Chinese apps, crypto, and the Darknet. Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads New Delhi: A new report by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) on Tuesday flagged misuse of ecommerce platforms, social media and online payment services to fund terror activities. "Serious and evolving terrorist financing risks have been highlighted with a warning on gaps in countries including India and their abilities to fully understand terrorism financing trends and respond effectively," the latest report stated."Today's report outlines current and evolving methods employed by terrorist organisations and individuals to raise, move, store and use funds and assets, including cash transportation, hawala and other similar service providers, money value transfer services, online payment services, formal financial services, digital platforms (including social media such as Facebook, Telegram and crowdfunding features), virtual assets and the abuse of legal entities, such as shell companies, trusts and non-profit organisations (NPOs)," FATF said in a news of Chinese apps, crypto wallets, satellite phones and the Darknet has been flagged by India's National Investigation Agency and Narcotics Control Bureau in multiple investigations, including the Rameswaram Cafe blast (2024), Pulwama attack (2019), Laos cyber slavery case, Bihar-Nepal FICN seizures and the ISIS radicalisation probe (2020).Investigators suspect use of Chinese apps during the Pahalgam attack in April this year. After Operation Sindoor, several clear signs of Chinese and Turkey-made technology, radars and fighter jets had come to light.A marked increase in the mixed use of diverse methods of financing and the integration of digital technologies with conventional techniques were adding new layers of complexity to terrorism financing, the antiterror watchdog noted: "The threat posed by lone individuals - often younger in age - is rising, with such actors relying on microfinancing strategies drawn from licit sources and petty crimes, as well as technology-enabled methods, including gaming and social media features."The report added, "Tracing financial trails related to increasingly frequent ethnically, racially or politically motivated terrorist attacks comes with its own set of challenges, including inconsistent designations and proscriptions, as well as low scale and visibility of financial activity in the preparation of attacks."The report, Comprehensive Update on Terrorist Financing Risks, reveals terrorists' persistent ability to exploit the international financial system to support their activities and carry out attacks. With terror financing methods varying depending on several factors and contexts, the report highlights terrorists' adaptability, underscoring the need for risk-based counter-terrorist financing measures.
