News summary

Australian police have arrested Jay Je Yoon Jung, the alleged creator of 'Ghost', an encrypted messaging app used by criminals worldwide for drug trafficking and orchestrating violence. The app, marketed as 'unhackable', was accessed by law enforcement through hijacked software updates, allowing them to monitor communications for two years, leading to the prevention of 50 violent threats. The international operation, involving nine countries and coordinated by Europol, resulted in 38 arrests in Australia and additional arrests in Canada, Sweden, Italy, and Ireland. Authorities seized weapons, drugs, and significant amounts of cash during the operation, which aimed to dismantle the global network of organized crime that utilized the app. The investigation highlights the importance of global police cooperation in combating transnational crime. Jung faces multiple charges, and further arrests are anticipated as the operation continues.
