This is just a modern version of Crypto AG which was an encrypted phone operated by the CIA.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Crypto_AG" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Crypto_AG</a><p>Somehow Eastern European &amp; Russian criminals just run their own tech. I think it is because coders and engineers have lower prospects in those parts of the world and are thus readily accessible.
