A judge chairing an Investigatory Powers Tribunal hearing into the legality of the use of material from EncroChat—an encrypted phone network allegedly used by thousands of criminals across Europe—has called on the attorney general to consider prosecuting whoever recorded the hearing and posted a link on Twitter.
The tribunal has been hearing legal challenges to the use of encrypted conversations by the National Crime Agency (NCA) from EncroChat, which resulted from a hack conducted by French law enforcement.
