Property Value
dbo:abstract
  • Sky Global was a communications network and service provider based in Vancouver, Canada. Its most notable products were secure messaging application Sky ECC and secure phones. A significant share of users of its systems were international crime organizations involved in drug trafficking, and the company management was suspected of collusion. In a series of raids against criminal organizations in several countries in early 2021, a part of Sky's infrastructure in Western Europe was dismantled, and US Department of Justice issued an arrest warrant against the company's CEO Jean-François Eap. On March 19, 2021, the company apparently shut down the operations after BlackBerry, Inc. cut it off from its services. Its website has been seized by the FBI. (en)
  • Sky Global is een Canadese aanbieder van versleutelde smartphones en de versleutelde berichtenapp Sky ECC. Het bedrijf installeerde versleutelingssoftware op iPhones, Google Pixels, BlackBerry's en Nokia's. Een belangrijk deel van de gebruikers bevond zich in het criminele circuit. De activiteiten werden gestaakt nadat politieacties in verschillende landen leidden tot inbeslagname van servers en de arrestatie van verschillende sleutelpersonen onder wie de CEO, Jean-François Eap. Het bedrijf had op dat moment wereldwijd 70.000 gebruikers. (nl)
