"This data comprises the encrypted messages of all of the users of Anoms with a few exceptions (e.g., the messages of approximately 15 Anom users in the U.S. sent to any other Anom device are not reviewed by the FBI),"
Any ideas as to why?
- Cthulhu_ 5y agoMaybe undercover agents? Diplomats?
- ChrisKnott 5y agoThey might have been IDed as non-criminal. You get the odd crime/drugs reporter who uses the devices, e.g. this interview was conducted on a SkyECC phone https://www.vice.com/en/article/93wj5d/prison-drug-dealer-crack-heroin https://www.vice.com/en/article/93wj5d/prison-drug-dealer-cr... (another CDSC platform that was recently hacked).
- WJW 5y agoThe FBI can't inspect data about Americans without a warrant, which they presumably don't have. The other countries who were in on this have no such restrictions and will read the messages by American citizens just fine. They may or may not decide to tip off the FBI if there is evidence of crime in the messages, and the FBI at that point would have "reasonable suspicion" and could acquire a warrant based on that.
