It's true that the NYT pulled (or dramatically rewrote, close enough) an article claiming: "The attackers are believed to have communicated using encryption technology..." You can see the original version here thanks to Archive.org: https://web.archive.org/web/20151115191248/http:/www.nytimes.com/2015/11/16/world/europe/paris-attackers-communicated-with-isis-officials-say.html https://web.archive.org/web/20151115191248/http:/www.nytimes... But then the NYT doubled down on the terrorists-and-encryption angle in a separate story here: http://www.nytimes.com/2015/11/17/world/europe/encrypted-messaging-apps-face-new-scrutiny-over-possible-role-in-paris-attacks.html http://www.nytimes.com/2015/11/17/world/europe/encrypted-mes...
