Mike Hosking, host of Breakfast on Newstalk ZB, asked Yan St-Pierre to explain why criminals fell for an app which was central to the world’s largest organised crime takedown, also known as the FBI sting operation “Trojan Shield”.

Security expert Yan St-Pierre told Mike Hosking the FBI took down an earlier communication enterprise, creating an almost exclusive need for an alternative. “By creating this need, by shutting out any other competitors, they basically ensured that they could have the market.”
