siabadaba Some time ago, info dropped that the long-time president of Montenegro Milo Djukanović was finally caught for criminal stuff thanks to police breaking the encryption of a mobile app he was using. Here is the story: https://m.mashaher.net/index.php/2023/06/09/how-phone-messages-sped-the-fall-of-president-milo-djukanovic-in-montenegro/ I cannot find the information about what app it was anywhere. Has anyone heard anything about that?
Blastoidea Interesting article. The question remains “Did they or didn’t they?” If they didn’t, how did they get the texts, and if they did, why only some of them? Also, how did they break it? This is not a trivial thing.

Blastoidea why only some of them? Often times, encryption is broken by capturing initial handshakes when key exchange happens.
