Artan Hoxha has given details of the hacking of the SKY CC application, which was used by the criminal world to communicate secretly.
Invited to the show "The Unexposed", Hoxha said that this application, as well as a previous one called Encrochat, were used in Albania, not only by the world of crime but also by politicians.
" Two weeks ago, I was at the Belgian federal judicial police for this matter. I made the first complaint about Sku ECC. The article in the British newspaper is no longer found, because the company forced the newspaper to remove it, threatening it with a lawsuit .I have been a user of SKY ECC.
The phone used for EncroChat was Spanish made with the BQ logo on the back. Through Tirana, I could tell who had it because that phone had this. Politicians, directors, ministers had it.
Everyone requires secure communication network. In Albania, the subscription was made once every three months, depending on the program. Sky ECC was used on the Iphone. The phone was no longer usable if this app was installed.
What was this program in itself?
Traffickers, criminal groups, politicians, the corrupt, businessmen, want safe communication routes. At first it was Encro, but it was hit because of the terrorist attacks that happened in France and Belgium. From there the system was broken. When Encro was hit, Scotland Yard built an operation and arrested 709 Albanians, mostly drug traffickers, in the spring of 2020.
In July 2020 I was approached by British journalists who wanted information. I told him there is no mafia, but organized crime. I told him that with the operation you did, you did not hit the big traffickers but the distributors.
When reporters come, I tell them that mid-level and high-level traffickers have not been using EncroChat for a long time but are using SkyCC. I showed them. I told him in Ecuador, so-and-so has woken up from his sleep. He gave me the information. They saw it. I wrote to one in the Dominican Republic, same thing.
The British published the article in the Daily Express. I got the message and it says, continue to be a user of our network, because this network is safe, our program is not broken.
From the people who used it, they told me what you did to us that you took our necks. Our politicians have also had this.
What happens after that?
In 2021, the Belgian authorities launch an operation, having caught several SKY CC users.
The codes were found in Italy and the first Albanian cartel was hit, the Blanco cartel, investigated by the Florence anti-mafia.
How did this phone work? You have a unique code, which you can put any name as you want. Not everyone on the network can know your code, only those you have given it to.
The Belgian Federal Police has 1 billion messages. They have been working for 3 years and they are not paying attention.
A billion messages. The main language is English, the second language is Albanian.
Being a special language, there is also another problem, they cannot understand even with a translator because we use words with many meanings.
The Belgian authorities have not brought data to Albania.
Data has arrived here via Europol.
From the data received, there are two ways to identify. Or regretful people like Nuredin Dumani, who also used Matrix, which comes after SKY CC.
About 5 months ago, a family member of a kidnapped and destroyed person handed over the telephones and gave them to the authorities.
Of these delivered phones, they have codes, names, it says that such and such code is x, etc.
How much was used in Albania?
If I say it, I have seen, especially with Encro for example, people of all levels.
In Albania, one of the cases, as far as I know, there are six large groups under investigation, starting from north to south. Within them there are other subdivisions ," said Hoxha, among other things.
