   "An undercover FBI operation that gained backdoor access to the
   encrypted phones of suspected criminals across the world also allowed
   the agency to collect information on users’ locations, according to a
   new report by VICE. Harvested from Anom, a phone service used largely
   by criminals, the GPS data was then passed on by the FBI to other
   authorities. One document obtained by VICE purported to show the
   location of an alleged drug trafficker’s phone, recorded when the
   person sent a message across the Anom platform. The outlet reported
   that it was not possible to disable location services, and that users
   would not have known that their GPS data was being collected. The FBI
   declined to comment to VICE. It was previously reported that the
   efforts of the agency’s joint sting operation, also involving
   Australian law enforcement and Europol, had recorded the messages sent
   by Anom users. The operation has so far led to hundreds of arrests
   globally.
