The ISIS terrorist group has published a message in praise of the suicide attack on Monday (September 5) in Kabul through "OpenSea", which is a decentralized digital market, which cannot be deleted. It has been said that the purpose of ISIS in this work is to try to use technologies in which the contents placed in them cannot be deleted.


Afghan Voice Agency (AVA): Recently, a message attributed to the ISIS group was published in the decentralized digital market, praising the suicide attack on Monday (September 5) in Kabul, which intelligence agencies believe is a test by this terrorist group. To publish content that cannot be deleted in cyberspace.
 
The message attributed to ISIS, which was published with the symbol "IS-NEWS #01" meaning the first news of the ISIS group, was immediately removed from the digital market; But due to the use of the "NFT" type token by the publisher, this message is available in the blockchain and it is not possible to delete it.
 
NFT token is a non-fungible digital asset created in 2017 by NFT exchange for Crypto Kitties digital markets.
 
This token allows virtual space users to register their works of art, music, video, image and other digital products in their name and make them publicly available in online collections or sell them.
 
Token technology is the basis of digital currencies, such as Bitcoin and Ethereum, which is used in smart contract technology or blockchain, and enables the transfer of digital funds in a decentralized network.
 
The reason why the ISIS message cannot be removed from the blockchain is that this smart contract uses mathematical "if" and "then" rules as a piece of code, and its output is certain in the decentralized system, and its codes cannot be manipulated. In other words, the message of the ISIS group is first converted into a code and then stored piece by piece on different computers in different places. In this way, the possibility of finding all code parts is lost and only the network itself can collect and display these parts to the audience based on programmed rules.
 
Although experts have not found traces of digital transactions or financial transfers in this particular case, but considering that the NFT token is primarily used for financial transactions, intelligence agencies are concerned that the ISIS group can use capacities such as this token and the OpenSea market, which is based on the internet money platform "Ethereum" and today by accepting most digital currencies and 200 payment gateways, it has become one of the largest virtual markets to benefit and earn money.
 Although the ISIS terrorist group in Syria and Iraq has progressed to the point of absolute destruction and rebuilding it is difficult for the survivors of this group, but the followers of this group use every possibility and capacity to rebuild and glorify.
 
Since the Islamic Emirate came to power in Afghanistan, the activity of the ISIS terrorist group under the name of "ISIS Khorasan" has continued with suicide attacks, but the Islamic Emirate has always assured of serious dealings with this group.
 
In the latest case, ISIS claimed responsibility for Monday's suicide attack in front of the Russian embassy in Kabul, which killed six people, including two commanders of the Russian embassy.
 
It should be mentioned that since 2014, when this terrorist group officially announced its existence, the members of this group have repeatedly launched cyber-attacks on websites, user accounts in virtual networks, and have also tried to earn money or transfer money online. Make money.
