Operation Trojan Shield Overview
Operation Trojan Shield was an FBI-led initiative utilizing an encrypted messaging platform called Anom, designed to infiltrate criminal networks by providing a false sense of security. Criminal organizations thought they were communicating securely while all their messages were monitored by the FBI. Over 27 million messages were intercepted during the operation, leading to 800 arrests across 18 countries. This success raises questions about the ethical implications of such surveillance tactics and the impact on the privacy rights of individuals not involved in criminal activities.
