4月19日,應荷蘭警方及國際刑警組織和 多個國際性政府機構要求,一家荷蘭加密網絡通信運營商Ennetcom被迫關停服務,該網絡服務商基于PGP加密保護系統的黑 莓設備專用的BES服務提供通訊網關服務(Mobile Encryption Gateway),能夠允許黑莓設備用戶實現更安全的加密通訊,目前擁有約19000多注冊用戶。
據荷蘭媒體報導,Ennetcom被荷蘭警方及政府機構以“保護毒販犯罪網絡進行秘密通訊”為由勒令關停,而該公司則聲稱攔截或解密該網絡設備發送的信息數據“是不可能的”。荷蘭警方和國際執法機構稱Ennetcom的用戶中有許多毒販,將會繼續調查存儲器公司服務器中的數據。
該公司在其官網發布公告如下:
Tuesday, April 19th, 2016 revealed that judicial research is being done towards Ennetcom. There has been an international collaboration of various government agencies and Interpol in attempt to put our network down. Previously there have been attempts to put us down, amongst them the Dutch intelligence service, but they never succeeded (see Wikileaks). Regarding the current investigation, Ennetcom is forced to suspend all operations and services for the time being. Ennetcom regrets this course of events and insinuations towards Ennetcom. It should be clear that Ennetcom stands for freedom of privacy! Because of security and privacy reasons Ennetcom chooses to keep all systems offline.
大意為:2016年19日,由于荷蘭警方及國際性政府組織和國際刑警聯合搜查了公司網絡。出于政府機構要求和保護公司客戶隱私需求,Ennetcom必須被迫關停所有運營服務一段時間。對于這起事故公司深感遺憾,但公司將捍衛隱私自由的權利。
