‘An0m’ Encrypted-Chat Sting Leads to Arrest of 800
#1
Information 
Quote:Law enforcement agencies have been selling encrypted phones to organized crime gangs for years, monitoring their conversations in what’s being called the biggest law enforcement sting ever.
 
Since 2018, agencies have been overseeing the distribution of hardened, encrypted devices that have enabled them to eavesdrop on crooks. The monitoring of the devices, which are called Anøm, Anom or An0m, has led to a dizzying array of actions.
 
On Monday, law enforcement agencies from the U.S., Australia and Europe announced that the massive global operation – called Operation Ironside by Australian Federal Police (AFP) and Trojan Shield by the FBI and Europol – resulted in these moves, carried out in 16 countries over the preceding few days:
  • 700+ house searches
  • 800+ arrests
  • Seizure of 8+ tons of cocaine, 22 tons of cannabis & cannabis resin
  • Seizure of 2 tons of amphetamine & methamphetamine, 6 tons of synthetic drugs precursors
  • Seizure of 250 firearms, 55 luxury vehicles & over $48 million in various worldwide currencies and cryptocurrencies
