@bruces Interesting story indeed. Probably not surprising: the link with Israel...
@bruces this is nuts, as if they wanted to use Anom phones, couldn’t find any, and had to find a more recent version of the sting operation. Have they not read Dark Wire?
@bruces so that we’re all clear on this, it means either that these messages are being sent from the devices after being decrypted, or are being decrypted by Smarsh’s servers. They then push them into a cloud storage or mail provider. So an Israeli company has access to their streams of communications in plaintext, in real time.
