Dutch police seize a secure communications network
The worries about criminals using encryption might be overblown, but that changes when a secure network appears to be used primarily with that activity in mind. Dutch police have both seized encrypted communications network Ennetcom and arrested its owner, Danny Manupassa, over beliefs that the business was being used for organized crime. Reportedly, many of the 19,000-plus users used the company's modified BlackBerry phones as part of "serious criminal activity," including drug trafficking and gang murders. Manupassa himself is accused of money laundering and possessing illegal weapons.
