FYI it’s different matrix from the matrix.org
But what is the Matrix?
Thank you
Wish OP had written that in post… I nearly got a heart attack and was wondering how TF they done that 🤣
Dude seriously lol
I don’t change the headline generally, but I also didn’t catch that it wasn’t “the real” matrix.
Since France uses matrix themselves, they could’ve simply shut their own server down 😛 Which would be horrible of course …
I would love to call the headline clickbaity bs, but it’s technically accurate and somehow this makes it worse and better at the same time.
previously cracked services such as ANOM
Shit journalist. ANOM was created by the FBI as a honeypot trap. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Trojan_Shield
I just listened to the Search Engine podcast episode covering ANOM last night! Completely wild the reach of this program entailed.
Link to the episode for those that are interested.
Did the authorities post “FIRSSTTT”?
More than likely would mass post “Knock knock…” and wait for the first “who’s there?” reply.
lol
I’m surprised so many criminals are picking these niche services that haven’t had their security verified by trustworthy third parties. That’s just asking for trouble.
The allure of the potential for “security through obscurity” is great if you don’t know better.
As with all criminals, it’s only the dumb ones that get caught.
I wonder who works in the cartel’s IT department.
Given the massive take down. I think you mean “I wonder who ‘worked’ in the cartel’s IT department.”
I wonder if this matrix app was just a honeypot that was named to trick people into thinking they were using the “real” matrix.
What is the Matrix?
Aw man. I was fishing for a movie quote. LoL
La matrice est universelle, elle est omniprésente, elle est avec nous ici en ce moment même, elle est le monde qu’on superpose à ton regard pour t’empêcher de voir la vérité.
Quelle vérité ? Le fait que tu es un esclave Néo. Le monde est une prison, sans espoir, ni saveur, ni odeur, une prison pour ton esprit.
Ben voilà! 😁
What is the Matrix?
A viral advertising campaign in 1999…
The investigation did not spotlight the similarly-named Matrix open source communication protocol.
huh
Why are these apps getting hacked? Wouldn’t just RSA 2048 be enough?
Probably an implementation issue. Make a small error there, like storing parts of a key in memory or something like that and you’ve compromised security.

My undergraduate professor once worked for one of the largest banks in Germany, and she told me clearly that all encryption algorithms exported by the US have a way of being broken. A backdoor in the algorithm? Perhaps
Perhaps she was just wrong
Not really. Certainly some “encryption” algorithms or really implementations have backdoors, but RSA for example doesn’t. Encryption is only worthwhile if it’s mathematically sound, and you can’t backdoor mathematics without some random undergrad working on their maths degree figuring out for fun.
