Sky Global was a communications network and service provider founded in 2008 in Vancouver, Canada. It developed the world's largest encrypted messaging network called Sky ECC,[1] operating through three servers of the OVHcloud company in Roubaix, France.[2] A significant share of the system's users were international crime organizations involved in drug trafficking, and the company management was suspected of collusion.
In a series of police raids against criminal organizations in several countries in early 2021, a part of Sky's infrastructure in Western Europe was dismantled, and US Department of Justice issued an arrest warrant against the company's CEO Jean-François Eap.[3][4][5][6] On March 19, 2021, the company apparently shut down the operations after BlackBerry, Inc. cut it off from its services. Its website has been seized by the FBI.[7]
