Gotta keep that shit off the internet

Criminal gangs divulged plans for moving drug shipments and carrying out killings on a secure messaging system secretly run by the FBI, law enforcement agencies said Tuesday, as they unveiled a global sting operation they said dealt an “unprecedented blow” to organized crime in countries around the world. 

The operation known as Trojan Shield led to police raids in 16 nations. More than 800 suspects were arrested and more than 32 tons of drugs — including cocaine, cannabis, amphetamines and methamphetamines — were seized along with 250 firearms, 55 luxury cars and more than $148 million in cash and cryptocurrencies.

  2. Fucking gangs should sideline in prescription drugs. They'd probably make more money dodging the new taxes on that shit. (Bootleg prescription drugs...now there's a sideline for ya Ken!)

  4. Speaking of Trojans, while Trump was President Putin inquired if America could help Russia meet their demand for condoms.....he told him we could definitely help.....so he called the company and said we need 2 million condoms for the Russians.....they have to be 3 inches in diameter and 11 inches long, stamped Made in America, size medium....

  5. And this is why drugs are flowing more now than ever. Very profitable for the cops.

  6. Did The Big Guy get his ten percent?

    And is the FBI so desperate for positive coverage that they had to reveal this program now?

  7. There is no such thing as secure and it can only be measured in degrees of confidence; no different than intel work. You have high confidence or low confidence that your communications are going to remain private.

    If you are involved in politics, illegal activities, speaking truth to power, etc, blindly trusting your choice of platform is a very bad idea and people would be better off using PGP tools to encrypt their messages client side, then send the PGP text. Even if the message is intercepted, nothing can be done with it until either the private key is acquired, quantum computing matures, or a hole is found in the code. Getting the password(s) to the private key is the most likely route; traditional keyloggers, warrants, intrusions, etc. Compartmentalizing your passwords and using full drive encryption can also limit damage.

    On an side topic; I'm pretty sure the feds want the USAtoday viewer list for an article because they got access to someone's chat client. Anon1(Known) sent an article to anon2(Unknown) at X time and Anon2 didn't comment on it until Y time; which would be a good window to go phishing for Anon2's connection information or, dare I say unmask him. Since Anon2 also discussed illegal activity, he would be of interest. This is why even a psudo-anon VPN and knowing how to use it is important for even the proles. Unfortunately I can't afford one.

    1. Pia is about $10/year. If you can't afford this, you are really really poor.

  8. The price of commodities (food, fuel, medicine, ammo etc.) is regulated by the laws of supply and demand. Tax revenues on (retail) sales fluctuate proportionally.
    Scarcity, whether natural or artificial, will drive prices up.
    Interested parties in the supply chain will naturally attempt to increase profitability.

    I'm no Economist. But I can remember when gas hit a buck a gallon.
    And ten dollar lids...
