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.
