End-to-end encryption (E2EE) is a Real Thing—and North Carolina FBI Agents say the bad guys are using it to scam you and keep the cops away.
E2EE is a “Security” measure that ensures that only the sender and intended recipient can access a message’s content, even if it’s intercepted during transmission. It works by encrypting the data on the sender’s device and decrypting it only on the recipient’s device, preventing unauthorized access by third parties, including the service provider and the Police.
