Enco at least was transparent and allegedly said "the phones are compromised do not use them" while Sky at the same time was offering 5mil award for "hacking the service" in order to reassure their clients into their mission statement and writing huge blog posts against Encro and Signal too. Even after the hack they were sending emails to clients telling them to keep using the "secure service".
Suspicious here is the fact that also the owner of sky was never extradited to be prosecuted as per his charges in Cali.
The funniest part is that people who were reselling the phones are being prosecuted as helping criminals. That is just crazy. Then all pawn shop owners should be arrested too.
At the day of the Sky raid many homes were raided and people were arrested on their exact addresses, so I am sure Sky maybe did not use a VPN and all people who used their wifi to connect to the service were easily tracked, from reading blog posts Encro seemed like a lot better protected system, and sky just like a fake promise and marketing.
Netflix should make a docuseries on these hacks :D

    Dangor "The funniest part is that people who were reselling the phones are being prosecuted as helping criminals. That is just crazy."
    Yes, you are right, especially because it was, and still is not illegal to sell encrypted devices. If it was against the law, I understand their point. But it happened before, remember Phantom Secure? With the Sinaloa Cartel as a client, the FBI asked the CEO of Phantom Secure multiple times to build a backdoor but he refused. Ramos (CEO) pleaded guilty ended up sentenced to 9 years of imprisonment, had to forfeit USD80 million as proceeds of crime, and was seized various assets. Imagine when not pleaded guilty the prison time would be even more...
