Britain’s airports and nuclear power stations have been placed on terror alert, following warnings that Islamist terror groups pose a heightened threat to electronic security systems.
Fearing hackers from ISIS and other terror groups have found a way to bypass safety checks, intelligence agencies have issued a series of alerts to UK airports in the past 24 hours.
Security sources reported by The Telegraph claim fears that ISIS and other Islamist groups could have developed ways to plant explosives in laptops and mobile phones which can evade airport security screening methods.
The intelligence is believed to be behind the US and Britain’s decision to ban travellers from a number of people from Muslim majority countries carrying laptops and large electronic devices onboard commercial planes.
Security experts fear that terrorists developed the technology after getting hold of airport screening equipment that allowed them to experiment.
The FBI have tested how it’s possible for explosives to be hidden inside laptop battery compartments in a way that can still be switched on, to fool airport security.
