Sky ECC platform remains secure and our authorized devices have not been hacked.
There have been recent news articles that claim Sky ECC has been hacked and is involved in criminal activity. This information is not accurate. We have looked into these claims and discovered that a small group of individuals illegally created and distributed an unauthorized version of Sky ECC which they modified and side-loaded onto unsecure devices. Security features that come standard with the Sky ECC phones were eliminated in these bogus devices.
Sky ECC considers these actions as malicious and we are taking legal action against these individuals for defamation and fraud.
We have also blocked these users from our system and enhanced security to prevent reoccurrence of this issue. The implementation of these enhancements temporarily interrupted our Sky ECC service which has now been re-established.
We continue to stand by our position and our product. We strongly support that people have the fundamental right to privacy. With the extensive and broadly documented rise worldwide of corporate espionage, cybercrime and malicious data breaches, systems like SKY ECC are the foundation of the effective functioning for many industries including legal professionals, public health providers and vaccine supply chains, celebrities, manufacturers and many more.
We believe that the individual right to privacy is paramount for those who are acting within the law and we do not condone the use of our product for criminal activity. We also have our Terms of Service that every user must adhere to and, provided that they do, our company will work feverishly to protect their rights with the world's most secure platform.

- ALittleLight 6y ago"It didn't happen but we're taking steps to make sure it doesn't happen again" doesn't seem like a consistent message.
- stubish 6y agoSounds like they are attempting to stop the unauthorized/compromised versions from working with legit versions, or some sort of validation routine such as keys only provided to the client if installed via legit means and passes some sort of local audit (yes, all defeatable, but making the process harder).
