Amazon Sends an E2EE Message to the Google and Microsoft
June 28, 2021
I gave a lecture to a group of cyber fraud investigators a week or so ago. I made a point of saying, “E2EE messaging is the new Dark Web.” I think some of the people in the audience resonated with my remarks, but Zoom lectures are not exactly in-person, meet-and-greet events.
I offered a similar observation at this year’s National Cyber Crime Conference. I know that at least one person was listening. I received on the sort of weird Whova app, an atta boy message from a real live Amazon professional.
I noted this story on June 25, 2021: “AWS Has Acquired Encrypted Messaging Service Wickr.” The write up states:
AWS will continue operating Wickr as is, and offer its services to AWS customers, “effective immediately,” notes a blog post from Stephen Schmidt, the VP and CISO for AWS, announcing the news.
Informative? Sort of. I think this is an important acquisition. The Silicon Valley real news story points out that work-from-home makes this type of communication method important.
Are there other reasons for the purchase?
Oh, yeah. I have a for fee briefing which explains three other motivators for this type of deal. Believe me, they are not the baby food work from home justification.

I know from my best intelligence sources that the white hats have acquired Amazon on the military level. Whether or not this is directly involved I’m not sure but I do know it has to do with the AWS system.
