MURHA.INFO

H.Moilanen kirjoitti: Ke Heinä 08, 2020 2:31 pm Toi alleviivaamani juttu on oleellista ja ansaitsisi ihan oman ketjun. Nimittäin tämän "kontti-kidutus-vankilan" paljastumisen taustalla on viranomaisten tekemä hakkeroituminen äärimmäisen kovan luokan ammattirikollisten viesteihin. Aiheesta kannattaa tehdä google-hakuja Encrochat-hakusanalla.

Police monitored a hundred million encrypted messages sent through Encrochat, a network used by career criminals to discuss drug deals, murders, and extortion plots.

Encrochat vendors have also advertised products on crime-focused websites, marketing their wares more directly to a certain type of reader. As Martin Kok, a criminal turned blogger wrote on his site Butterfly Crime in 2015, "I see on various crime sites these things [encrypted phones] are offered for sale because many of their future clients are also criminals. Advertising on a site where bicycles are offered does not make sense for this type of company." (Motherboard previously investigated how MPC orchestrated Kok's assassination).

This is the space Encrochat sat in, controlling a sizable chunk of communications infrastructure for organized crime in Europe and several countries further afield. While a top-level Scottish drug trafficking organization created MPC and Phantom Secure's customers included members of the Sinaloa drug cartel, Encrochat was particularly popular with gangsters across Europe.

A British pair who assassinated another crime leader and an armed robber, with one acting as assassin and another as the lookout, used Encrochat phones. In one of the killings the hitman used a submachine gun. Violent drug gangs across the country also used Encrochat's phones.

"They [became] the 'industry' standard," the inmate told Motherboard.
...
Going into full-on emergency mode, Encrochat sent a message to its users informing them of the ongoing attack. The company also informed its SIM provider, Dutch telecommunications firm KPN, which then blocked connections to the malicious servers, the associate claimed. Encrochat cut its own SIM service; it had an update scheduled to push to the phones, but it couldn't guarantee whether that update itself wouldn't be carrying malware too. That, and maybe KPN was working with the authorities, Encrochat's statement suggested (KPN declined to comment). Shortly after Encrochat restored SIM service, KPN removed the firewall, allowing the hackers' servers to communicate with the phones once again. Encrochat was trapped.

Encrochat decided to shut itself down entirely.

"We then took the decision to immediately shut down the SIMs and the network," the associate wrote.

Encrochat suspected this wasn't a rival company trying to mess with its infrastructure; this was likely a government.

"Due to the level of sophistication of the attack and the malware code, we can no longer guarantee the security of your device," a message Encrochat sent to its users read. "You are advises [sic] to power off and physically dispose your device immediately," it added.

All of this came too late. Law enforcement had already extracted an extraordinary cache of data from Encrochat devices. Entire multi-million dollar drug empires nakedly laid out in reams of text messages and photos.

Rikollisryhmät ostivat vuosien ajan katteettomia lupauksia yhtiöltä, joiden omistajien jäljet katoavat Panamaan.

MERIKONTTIEN sisäseinät oli vuorattu foliolla. Keskellä lattiaa oli kuivakäymälöitä. Seinillä roikkuivat käsiraudat. Yhdessä kontissa oli hammaslääkärin tuoli ja kidutusvälineitä.

Oli varhainen aamu Hollannin Wouwse Plantagessa, tuskin viiden kilometrin päässä Belgian rajalta. Poliisit räjäyttivät merikontteja sisältävän varastohallin oven auki ja rynnäköivät sisään.
