Dismantling of an encrypted network sends shockwaves through organised crime groups across Europe

At a joint press conference today, French and Dutch law enforcement and judicial authorities, Europol and Eurojust presented the impressive results of a joint investigation team to dismantle EncroChat, an encrypted phone network widely used by criminal networks.

Over the last months, the joint investigation made it possible to intercept, share and analyse millions of messages that were exchanged between criminals to plan serious crimes. For an important part, these messages were read by law enforcement in real time, over the shoulder of the unsuspecting senders.

German Police takes over illegal market places on Telegram

Among other things, drugs were traded in the telegram chat groups. Now they were confiscated by the police.

Drugs, forged documents or other illegal goods are not only to be found on marketplaces in Clear- or Darknet, but increasingly also on the Telegram messenger platform. Nine such chat groups were taken over and seized by the police after months of investigation. Administrators and dealers were identified and their homes searched.

Law Enforcement Seizes Joker's Stash — Stolen Credit Card Marketplace

The US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and Interpol have allegedly seized proxy servers used in connection with Blockchain-based domains belonging to Joker's Stash, a notorious fraud bazaar known for selling compromised payment card data in underground forums.

The takedown happened last week on December 17.

The operators of Joker's Stash operate several versions of the platform, including Blockchain proxy server domains — .bazar, .lib, .emc, and .coin — that are responsible for redirecting users to the actual website and two other Tor (.onion) variants.
