British and US spies infiltrated online game worlds, such as World Of Warcraft, believing that terrorists could be using them to communicate with each other, according to new claims.
The US National Security Agency (NSA) and the UK's GCHQ reportedly used in-game characters to carry out their surveillance and tried to recruit informants.
The alleged snooping is revealed in the latest documents from whistleblower Edward Snowden published by the Guardian, the New York Times and the ProPublica site.

It's probably Osiris, he posted the thread to not be suspected.

I've actually thought that game worlds would be one of the safest places to talk. Especially games like this, that not many people know about.
I remember reading about some terrorists who actually planned their attacks in over xbox live

I used to work for Second Life and we had full access to everybodies chat logs (public and IM). It wouldn't be hard at all for them to do this. Plus with voice-text tech being able to create transcripts of voice conversations, it wouldn't be hard to fully log everything. I have often wondered how tight teamspeak is. Wonder how many GB of NSA hardrives are full from 'Wololoo' from various TS servers.

I don't think terrorists have any trouble communicating safely if they remain unsuspicious.
Also, I'm sure there are plenty of games in which saying "we are going to bomb that" is in context.

Yeah well, I don't really care if they're so interested to see people scream about looms. However, I have nothing to fear, as I do not possess a web camera. They can't see anything nor hear something I don't want them to, I'm safe. Come at me, I'm not afraid of you USA...allahu akbar will help me.

Seems like an excuse for a few 'spies' to spend time playing computer games at work :)
