FYI it's different matrix from the matrix.org

[-] SplashJackson@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 hour ago

But what is the Matrix?

Wish OP had written that in post… I nearly got a heart attack and was wondering how TF they done that 🤣

[-] blazeknave@lemmy.world 1 points 18 minutes ago

Dude seriously lol

[-] CAVOK@lemmy.world 7 points 4 hours ago

I don't change the headline generally, but I also didn't catch that it wasn't "the real" matrix.

[-] GravitySpoiled@lemmy.ml 6 points 7 hours ago

Since France uses matrix themselves, they could've simply shut their own server down 😛 Which would be horrible of course ..

[-] UnfortunateShort@lemmy.world 33 points 11 hours ago

I would love to call the headline clickbaity bs, but it's technically accurate and somehow this makes it worse and better at the same time.

[-] Zak@lemmy.world 18 points 8 hours ago

I'm surprised so many criminals are picking these niche services that haven't had their security verified by trustworthy third parties. That's just asking for trouble.

[-] SatyrSack@feddit.org 3 points 2 hours ago

The allure of the potential for "security through obscurity" is great if you don't know better.

[-] catloaf@lemm.ee 8 points 7 hours ago

As with all criminals, it's only the dumb ones that get caught.

I wonder who works in the cartel's IT department.

[-] dRLY@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 hours ago

Given the massive take down. I think you mean "I wonder who 'worked' in the cartel's IT department."

previously cracked services such as ANOM

Shit journalist. ANOM was created by the FBI as a honeypot trap. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Trojan_Shield

[-] veeesix@lemmy.ca 13 points 10 hours ago

I just listened to the Search Engine podcast episode covering ANOM last night! Completely wild the reach of this program entailed.

Link to the episode for those that are interested.

Did the authorities post "FIRSSTTT"?

[-] dRLY@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 hours ago

More than likely would mass post "Knock knock.." and wait for the first "who's there?" reply.

[-] will_a113@lemmy.ml 37 points 11 hours ago

I wonder if this matrix app was just a honeypot that was named to trick people into thinking they were using the “real” matrix.

La matrice est universelle, elle est omniprésente, elle est avec nous ici en ce moment même, elle est le monde qu'on superpose à ton regard pour t'empêcher de voir la vérité.

Quelle vérité ? Le fait que tu es un esclave Néo. Le monde est une prison, sans espoir, ni saveur, ni odeur, une prison pour ton esprit.

[-] cyborganism@lemmy.ca 1 points 9 hours ago

Ben voilà! 😁

[-] MalReynolds@slrpnk.net 5 points 10 hours ago

What is the Matrix?

A viral advertising campaign in 1999...

[-] Blisterexe@lemmy.zip 46 points 12 hours ago

The investigation did not spotlight the similarly-named Matrix open source communication protocol.

huh

[-] Txmyx@feddit.org 2 points 7 hours ago

Why are these apps getting hacked? Wouldn't just RSA 2048 be enough?

[-] CAVOK@lemmy.world 3 points 4 hours ago

Probably an implementation issue. Make a small error there, like storing parts of a key in memory or something like that and you've compromised security.
