Encrypted traffic interception on Hetzner and Linode targeting the largest Russian XMPP (Jabber) messaging service

fun fact - lately russian govt started testing out protocol blocking (through dpi), several days ago there were reports of xmpp blocked for everything but jabber.ru.

warrant was likely received to bust some cybercrime org, jabber is pretty popular in ex-ussr in these circles, the usual question is what happened with this mitm channel after.
