“Crooks have always wanted to talk without being heard, and cops have always wanted to listen without being seen“.
Un articolo del New Yorker (qui un link alternativo) ripercorre la lunga storia delle intercettazioni telefoniche per arrivare ai Blackphone e all’uso che di questi ne fanno alcune organizzazioni criminali europee.

Organized criminals in Europe scooped up hardened phones. (The North American criminal fraternity was slightly slower to adopt the technology.) Some of these networks were founded by seemingly legitimate businessmen.

Da quel momento in poi si arriva ai giorni nostri e la storia comincia a farsi sempre più intricata.
