For the EncroChat takedown they didn't crack the encryption. They instead flipped an employee who cooperated in the installation of a remote access Trojan on all the phones. Are they actually claiming they did something different here?

- joemazerino 6y agoSource for the trojan/employee flipping claim?
- upofadown 6y agoThe Trojan angle is pretty solid because EncroChat was at one point fighting malware on the phone[1]. Not so much for the insider angle so I was probably thinking of another case.
