The U.S. Department of Justice announced an indictment against the CEO of encrypted messaging company Sky Global and an associate for wilfully participating in a criminal enterprise to help international drug traffickers avoid law enforcement. The development comes on the heels of a coordinated exercise called “Operation Argus” and “Operation A-Limit” in which law enforcement agencies from Belgium, France, and the Netherlands announced major interventions against the messaging platform to disrupt the illegal use of encrypted communications by large-scale organized crime groups. Sky ECC contested its involvement in the operations and said its platform remains secure.
