Eurocops take down 'secure' criminal chat system known as Matrix

stapp · Dec 4, 2024

French and Dutch police have taken down the Matrix chat app, which was designed by criminals for criminals to be a secure encrypted messaging tool.
Cops in the Netherlands discovered the existence of Matrix while investigating the 2021 murder of crime reporter Peter de Vries, who was looking into the Moroccan mafia at the time. When the app's central servers were found to be in France, the Dutch and French plod formed a joint task force and together they managed to compromise the messaging system and read crooks' conversations. How that infiltration was achieved has not yet been publicly explained or divulged.
