FinCrimeTV 🚨 Ghost Busted! 🚨
In a landmark operation known as Operation Kraken, law enforcement agencies from nine countries, led by Europol, have successfully dismantled the Ghost network, a secretive encrypted communication platform used by criminal organizations worldwide. Ghost allowed users to anonymously conduct illegal activities such as drug trafficking, money laundering, and violent crimes with end-to-end encryption and self-destructing messages.
The operation has resulted in 51 arrests across countries including Australia, Italy, and Canada, and disrupted a vital communication lifeline for organized crime. This takedown follows similar successes with EncroChat and AN0M, showing the growing global cooperation in the fight against encrypted platforms used by criminals.
Ghost Busted, but the fight against these networks continues. Congratulations to Europol, AFP, FBI, and all partners involved in this critical mission! 👏
