The invite-only encrypted messaging service known as Matrix was intercepted and taken down on Tuesday, according to reports from international authorities.

The investigation, dubbed Operation Passionflower, was run by European authorities who monitored messages on Matrix for three months, gathered intel, and ultimately took down the platform. Over 2.3 million messages in 33 different languages from 8,000 accounts were intercepted and read.
