An international operation monitored an encrypted device company under control of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the Australian Federal Police (AFP) has led to a massive, coordinated string by law enforcement in several countries. The service is said to have provided over 12,000 encrypted devices to over 300 criminal syndicates operating in more than 100 countries. Law enforcement agencies around the world have long campaigned for encryption backdoors, so they can see what criminals are saying to each other. The FBI created an app called AN0M to fill the void left behind by dismantling several encrypted platforms used by criminals.”]
