Encrypted phones provided an ingenious solution for criminals who wanted to communicate securely—but the private networks they used had some inherent security flaws. “The clustering of a criminal clientele made them a tempting target for police officers in many countries,” Ed Caesar writes. “It was as if all the villains had holed up in a castle with 20-foot-thick walls and dared invaders to attack with catapults and battering rams.” European law enforcement succeeded in infiltrating two of the most popular networks, gaining access to a billion messages sent by tens of thousands of users. “It was as if we were sitting at the table where criminals were chatting,” a chief constable of the Dutch police said. It had never before been possible to see so vividly how many thousands of criminals talk to one another when they think nobody is listening. Officers working on these operations say the decrypted messages have reshaped their views of how organized crime works: its scale, its cunning, its ruthlessness. But despite the thousands of arrests that have resulted, including the jailing of major criminals, organized crime remains robust. At the link in our bio, Caesar reports on the sting, and what police have learned from it. Illustration by @haxloeffler.
