Australian police have successfully infiltrated Ghost, an encrypted messaging app used by organized crime, leading to the arrest of its alleged creator, Jay Je Yoon Jung, and dozens of other suspects across multiple countries. Operation Kraken, which involved nine nations, resulted in around 50 arrests tied to serious criminal activities, including drug trafficking and conspiracy to commit violence. Jung, 32, is accused of developing Ghost specifically for criminal use and will face several charges, including supporting a criminal organization. Authorities claim that they prevented 50 potential murders and kidnappings by monitoring communications within the app. This operation marks a significant milestone in the ongoing battle against encrypted communication platforms utilized by transnational crime syndicates. The case highlights the collaboration between Australian and international law enforcement in combating sophisticated criminal networks.
