Three terrorists, including the cell leader, were known to hang out together. Maybe they spoke crypto to each other?pic.twitter.com/sBxgXjtG3C
The Paris attackers used Facebook, not encryption… and in an ISIS dedicated group! http://nyti.ms/1j2fqB4 pic.twitter.com/VB1TmCF1Hp

These guys are not exactly well versed in terrorist security. They leave their group's rented car behind for police.pic.twitter.com/J0Ygt7Ibj2

The Molenbeek cell structure is starting to emerge. Lots of strong ties an pre existing social network connections.pic.twitter.com/uCVYSHJxV3

It seems the Molenbeek cell didn't have strong security skills - dump hire car - contaminate safe house w/mobile phone - don't encrypt phone
-
My suspicion is that the attackers had weak operational security, but it was sufficient given the lax counterterrorism efforts they faced.
-
The more evidence emerges the more it appears the counterterrorism failures have been in analysis rather than intelligence collection.

Further evidence of poor security: in January Abaaoud passed instructions over the phone http://www.nytimes.com/2015/11/20/world/europe/paris-attacks.html?ref=world …pic.twitter.com/OqrN24ZbFX

@thegrugq@aldebaran14 ..all while they can easily stop / catch it all. It's deliberate.. FB, twitter, youtube deliberately allowing ISIS. -
@nikhiljs FB, Instagram etc. are too busy deleting 'unacceptable' content such as photos of breastfeeding women to notice ISIS.
