Federal investigators say they used encrypted Signal messages to charge Oath Keepers leader

Federal investigators claimed to access encrypted Signal messages used to help charge the leader of the Oath Keepers, an extremist far-right militia group, and other defendants in a seditious plot on Jan. 6, 2021.

Encryption prevents anyone who isn’t participating in a conversation or channel from reading its contents — including the hosting platform itself.

It’s not clear how investigators gained access to the messages, but encryption has been a point of tension between law enforcement and the tech industry for years.
