    Guess secure communications is just not their forte.

    The ANOM service was widely used by criminals, but instead of providing secure communication, it was actually a trojan horse covertly distributed by the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the Australian Federal Police (AFP), enabling them to monitor all communications. Sucks to be them.

    Jay Je Yoon Jung, creator of the Ghost app, is now assisting police with their enquiries.

    This is a bit like IoT.

    What back door - it was just lousy coding.
