It appears that for a while the news was a buzz with law enforcement managing to obtain access to the primary domain that used to control the entire Enrochat franchise and actually eavesdropped on its communications which led to arrests.
The bad news? It appears that someone got it all wrong in the context of attacking a commercial encryption software and device which basically means that anyone can attack any service or a vendor that appears to be using encryption for the purpose of catching "ordes of cybercriminals".

Talk to me about public accountability? Someone should be definitely looking forward to obtaining access to the database and look for criminal sentiments in the context of justifying the law enforcement operation.
