They took the red pill
French and Dutch police have taken down the Matrix chat app, which was designed by criminals for criminals to be a secure encrypted messaging tool.
According to Europol, the app was significantly more advanced than other such criminal chat software. It was invitation-only, strongly end-to-end encrypted, and users would have to pay between €1,300 and €1,600 for a six-month subscription. The task force found Matrix was operating on around 40 servers scattered throughout Europe, and had around 8,000 users. In a three-month operation officers managed to harvest from those machines 2.3 million messages in 33 languages – mainly discussions about money laundering, illegal arms deals, and drug trafficking, we're told.Around 8,000 people are having a really bad day ...
