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.

    Shit journalist. ANOM was created by the FBI as a honeypot trap. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Trojan_Shield

        More than likely would mass post “Knock knock…” and wait for the first “who’s there?” reply.

      I just listened to the Search Engine podcast episode covering ANOM last night! Completely wild the reach of this program entailed.

      Link to the episode for those that are interested.

        ANOM was also covered in a recent episode of the podcast Darknet Diaries!
