An international law enforcement operation codenamed 'Operation Passionflower' has shut down MATRIX, an encrypted messaging platform used by cybercriminals to coordinate illegal activities while evading police.

Note: It's not the service by run by the Matrix.org Foundation. Different service with the same name.

I love that they call it a major breakthrough that they could read messages. They litterally stole a device that could access the service lmao they didn't do shit, everything worked as intended just was the wrong person with the device
