Fools of #Encrochat: Major drug dealers jailed after mistakenly thinking messaging app was encrypted


 

Three drug dealers who flooded the streets with heroin and cocaine have been jailed for a total of 32 years.


Royal Eastwood, 38, Dakarai Thomas, 37, and Zadengel Raphael, 41, were all caught after using phone messaging service EncroChat which they mistakenly thought the police could not trace.


Unbeknown to them, and thousands of other crooks using the service, law enforcement agencies in Europe had developed a technique to collect data from EncroChat.


Information was sent to detectives who identified that users going under the handles “Moralracer” and “Regentcliff” were attributed to Eastwood and Thomas.

In the messages they discussed making arrangements to supply kilogram weights of heroin and cocaine for between £37,000 and £40,000 to other EncroChat users in London and the South East.


Police arrested Eastwood in July last year at his home address in Oxhill Road, Handsworth, where we seized £53,950 in cash.


Officers also seized Eastwood’s Audi A5 Quattro and a BMW X6 – and information on his mobile phone implicated Raphael in the drugs conspiracy.


Raphael was arrested on 6 October from his home in Colchester. Police recovered £6,000 in cash plus bank statements showing the purchase of a boat and other sizeable money transfers


And Thomas was detained on 4 November from his home in Gannahs Farm Close, Sutton Coldfield.

He tried destroying his phones as we forced entry to his home but they were recovered and shown to be the same phones used by “Regentcliff”. We also seized a gold Rolex watch valued at £14,000.


All three went on to admit conspiracy to supply drugs between December 2017 and July 2020 and were jailed at Birmingham Crown Court for a combined total of 32 years.


Eastwood has been jailed for 16 years, Raphael has been jailed for 10 years and Thomas was given six years and nine months in prison.


DC Daniel Wilson from our Force CID Priorities Team, said: “These were very significant players pumping large quantities of Class A drugs into our communities and causing untold harm and misery.

“They thought their drug dealing was beyond the reach of police but they’ve found to their cost that wasn’t the case – and they’ve rightly been handed long jail terms.


“We’ve seized significant amounts of cash and property and will be seeking to permanently strip the offenders of those assets through the Proceeds of Crime Act.”

“ If you need to communicate top classified information or you need to store secret data and be absolutely sure that no state-sponsored hackers, no foreign Governments , no intelligence agencies will be ever able to decipher the files, you need an Above Military Level Offline SuperEncryption System” 






HOW TO PREVENT THE NEXT ENCROCHAT & SKY ECC HACKING ?


Rule number 1 ☝🏼:


EncroChat evidences has been collected from the storage on the devices seized . A real military grade encryption device can’t be ever accessed by any digital forensic tools such as Cellebrite.


Rule number 2 :


Never 👎 use encryption services that are server based . Servers can be hacked easily and all data passing through them can be intercept. Servers also store the messages so that also this cloud based storage can be accessed and used as evidence.


Rule number 3:


Never , ⛔️ ever trust their party encryption services. The moment you trust a third party for generating your encryption keys, manage and store them for you , it’s game over . It’s like giving the keys of your bank vault to a total stranger .


Rule number 4 :


Stop 🛑 trusting cheap online encrypted phone suppliers! ⚠️ The garbage online are fake encrypted phones based on a $ 50 USD cheap Android cellphone bought in China and installed with a very low level security end to end encrypted messaging app.


Work like a pro, like intelligence agencies do ! Stop being scammed by online marketers selling you security illusions .

Cyber War Ultra Encrypted Communications.


This is an encrypted text message, that has been encrypted with an OTP cipher (quantum safe encryption- mathematically unbreakable) , on a DBV “ Air Gapped “ Offline SuperEncryption Machine. The Encrypted message is then exported from the offline device by visual means( no connections , not even physical) by scanning the QR code with an online device for then sending it safely online.


The QR code at is arrival, is scanned by the second DBV offline encryption machine , directly from the receiving online device. Afterwards , it’s deciphered safely offline. This form of super encrypted offline communications is safer than a face to face meeting .
