Quite an interesting and easy to digest overview of what LEAs have been up to in 2023. Not much new stuff going on, but interesting nonetheless.
An tidbit I found notable was "web3" being mentioned as a threat for LEA's ability to intercept/decrypt/read online traffic, in the same breath as E2EE and blockchain etc.
>Wider adaptation of Web3 principles will lead to a
further decentralised Internet. In a decentralised
Internet, communications are neither controlled nor
regulated by governments or private companies. <...> Decentralisation, blockchain
technology and P2P networks will continue to provide
opportunities for cyber offenders as they make it
easier to carry out transactions anonymously and out
of sight of the authorities.
