Yeah damn impressive.
Dame Cressida said: "These people are in business to make enormous amounts of money. Many of them lead a very respectable lifestyle - and definitely a high-end lifestyle in fancy houses with big cars going to... clubs and restaurants, splashing the cash sometimes, but sometimes being very discreet about it."
So being the boss of a criminal enterprise that has people dismembered and murdered is a very respectable lifestyle? Guess it’s true that money’s all that matters...

I’d like to read some profiles on the ‘respectable people’ that got nabbed. Fair play to 5-0 but you have to be pretty dumb to use social media ‘just for crims’

French police and intelligence services take the Encrochat service to pieces and fill it with malware to catch the bad guys.
Really quite impressive work considering how far behind the curve LEA tend to be. That said, it always felt like the Encrochat architecture was likely to be riddled with attack vectors. Even so, takes a bit of skill to roll something like this up.
