In a significant global operation, police forces from multiple countries, including Australia and Ireland, have dismantled the encrypted messaging platform 'Ghost', which was allegedly used by organized crime groups. The operation resulted in the arrest of 51 individuals, including the alleged mastermind behind the app, and the seizure of drugs worth over €13 million. Australian authorities carried out a supply chain attack on the crime collaboration software, leading to a series of arrests and drug confiscations across various locations. The crackdown targeted powerful crime syndicates, particularly the notorious 'Family' drugs gang in Ireland, and has delivered a major blow to their operations. Authorities highlight the dismantling of this platform as a critical step in combating organized crime on a global scale.
