As a specialized forensic and cybersecurity firm with over a decade of hands-on expertise in encrypted communications, DigitalBankVault issues this legal advisory to alert criminal defense attorneys, bar associations, human rights advocates, and judicial authorities across Europe to decisive new forensic evidence concerning the unlawful compromise of EncroChat and SkyECC (SkyGlobal) networks.
Our firm has been at the forefront of encrypted system development and analysis for over 10 years, and we possess intimate, unmatched technical knowledge of how these platforms operate, the cryptographic protections they deploy, and—critically—how law enforcement entities have unlawfully circumvented those protections to harvest evidence used in thousands of prosecutions.
🔍 Forensic Analysis Confirms Widespread Surveillance Irregularities
Our technical investigation—conducted by senior experts in secure systems engineering, cryptographic forensics, and lawful interception protocols—has revealed:
Unauthorized Firmware Intrusion: Law enforcement agencies deployed malware and unauthorized code into EncroChat and SkyECC devices, without meeting legal standards for surveillance warrants or cross-jurisdictional mutual assistance.
Illegal Data Harvesting: Communications were extracted from within protected infrastructures using methods incompatible with digital evidence integrity standards, including the absence of verifiable chain of custody, no cryptographic checksums, and tampered system states.
Deliberate Misrepresentation in Court: In many cases, technical processes were falsely presented to courts as lawful, when in fact the entire operation was conducted through covert and extra-legal means, violating EU Charter rights and Article 6 of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR)—the right to a fair trial.
Inadmissibility of Evidence: These procedural and technical failings render the communications forensically untrustworthy and legally inadmissible under both domestic and EU-wide evidentiary rules.
10 Years of Encrypted Communications Expertise
What sets DigitalBankVault apart is our deep-rooted operational understanding of both EncroChat and SkyECC infrastructures. We are not just analysts—we have designed, deployed, and deconstructed similar systems for over a decade.
We know:
How these encrypted platforms were built
Where they were compromised
What vulnerabilities were exploited
And how the resulting data fails to meet legal standards for admissibility
This positions us as the leading authority to assist legal teams in discrediting unlawfully acquired evidence, supporting post-conviction relief, and seeking full exoneration for defendants.
Legal Precedents Confirm Growing Judicial Resistance
Courts across Europe are increasingly acknowledging the unlawfulness of such surveillance:
Germany: Federal constitutional judges have held that data from EncroChat and SkyECC was collected in violation of fundamental rights.
Italy: Cases have been dismissed after judges found critical breaches in lawful interception procedures.
Switzerland: Prosecutors have been barred from relying on compromised encrypted messages as valid evidence.
These rulings establish a firm legal basis to challenge and overturn convictions where the prosecution’s case relied heavily or exclusively on such unlawfully obtained data.
