Sowing confusion with bold claims of compromise will lead criminals to not believe encrypted platforms are not secure and not use them, instead using easier to intercept methods of communication.


I don't. In fact I don't believe any kind of PR, really, as that whole exercise is more about telling a favorable story than actually informing on anything.

But those bold claims of compromise are backed up by a large, international, and simultaneously-executed roundup of the service's users, who from the likes of it all had Sky ECC in common. Also, the last time this happened was when Encrochat was compromised? That wasn't even all that long ago.
