Australian Police Infiltrate Ghost App, Arrest 32-Year-Old and Dozens More
Sep 18, 2024, 01:30 AM
Australian Federal Police (AFP) have successfully infiltrated the encrypted messaging platform Ghost, which was allegedly used by global organized crime networks to plot murders, plan kidnappings, and traffic drugs. The operation led to the arrest of a 32-year-old man from Sydney, who is suspected of being the mastermind behind the app. The individual, described as an unassuming tech enthusiast who lives with his parents, was charged with creating and managing the platform on Thursday. The sting operation, which involved undercover tactics and the collaboration of international law enforcement agencies, resulted in the arrest of dozens of criminals and the dismantling of a major criminal syndicate known as 'The Family' in Dublin. The infiltration, led by AFP tech experts, has sent shockwaves through the criminal underworld, which had believed the platform to be unhackable.
