Expert details communication protection methods of 'Khimprom' drug syndicate

Use of secure communication tools

Members of the 'Khimprom' criminal group used exclusively secure communication channels while organising their activities. As cybersecurity expert Kostiantyn Korsun noted, syndicate representatives completely abandoned other platforms, choosing only messengers with a high level of anonymity.

Communication setup specifics

According to the specialist, the criminals used only Signal and WhatsApp applications for interaction. Communication was built on the use of anonymous nicknames and disappearing message features.

Formats for discussing key issues

Kostiantyn Korsun added that group calls were organised by the group's members to discuss the most important issues. The expert ironically noted that 'Khimprom' representatives did not use the Telegram messenger for their purposes.
