Dutch and French authorities have cracked another encrypted communication service that criminals allegedly used to communicate with each other. The service, named Matrix, was the successor to previously cracked services such as ANOM, Sky ECC, and EncroChat. Police were able to intercept over 2.3 million messages and were able to read along with conversations for months.

      I would love to call the headline clickbaity bs, but it’s technically accurate and somehow this makes it worse and better at the same time.

        Since France uses matrix themselves, they could’ve simply shut their own server down 😛 Which would be horrible of course …

        I don’t change the headline generally, but I also didn’t catch that it wasn’t “the real” matrix.
