🌟 [ 1 ] “Bulletproof” criminal phone system called Ghost hacked by police [ @ ]
( 95503 viewed : 4393 like : 818 comments ) A supposedly secure encrypted communications system used by criminals, called Ghost, was hacked by an international police taskforce, letting investigators eavesdrop on a thousand messages a day over six months and trapping narcos, mafiosi, outlaw bikers, gangsters, and hitmen. Let me tell you about it.
The Mob Reporter here with news that real-life Ghostbusters in nine countries pulled a sneaky switcheroo, a digital infiltration allowing cops to secretly intercept, retrieve, read, and trace secret messages on a special secure communications platform. A 32-year-old man in Sydney, Australia, with no criminal record was the alleged creator and administrator of Ghost. He is identified as Jay Je Yoon Jung. Police called him a “computer geek.” Ghost became a popular haunt for several thousand underworld figures. It bragged of “bulletproof security” and “military-grade encryption” and claimed intense privacy and securitywith features like end-to-end encrypted calling, self-destructing messages, a purge function and, importantly, tamper-proof servers.
A joint taskforce was formed by Europol in March 2022, called Operational Taskforce Next, led by America’s FBI and France’s Gendarmerie.
Ghost’s servers were in France and Iceland. Finances went through the United States. Users were in Sweden, France, Spain, Italy, Ireland, the Netherlands, Australia and elsewhere.
Australian Federal Police called their part of the probe Operation Kraken and arrested mobsters, gangsters, narcos, and outlaw bikers, including members of the Hells Angels Motorcycle Club, the Mongols Motorcycle Club, Comanchero Motorcycle Club, and the Finks Motorcycle Club.
A Mafia fugitive in Italy, named Giovanni Parlangeli, was found and arrested because of the Ghost app. He was an important member of the Sacra Corona Unita, one of Italy’s powerful Mafia groups.
In Ireland, police said they identified four serious organized crime groups using Ghost That includes a group known as “The Family” that has outpaced the notorious Kinahan cartel at the top of the food chain in Dublin.
There have been several popular systems that have ended badly for them: Phantom Secure, Sky ECC, EncroChat, and AN0M. They all had cool names and big promises.
The landscape of underworld encrypted comms has shifted and fragmented as these busts keep coming. Uncertainty among users has broken the monopolies the big platforms had.
