New York Post : FBI encrypted phone app leads to hundreds of global underworld arrests

[Karl]

The USA FBI directed the dispersal of a fake encrypted chat app that fed
data to law enforcement agencies in a wide variety of countries across the
globe.

A web search for "ANOM", the fake chat app company, gives hits for both ios
and android, but with different capitalisation.

The news implies that the possibly widespread device compromise in the USA
that I've personally experienced demonstration of, and seems to me
associated with the misbehavior of isps and/or corporate servers, is not
something that most national law enforcement workers have access to, or
they wouldn't have needed the fake app.
