I had no idea that using certain apps can land you in a lot of trouble abroad.
A client was visiting an Asian country to see a supplier.
Whilst there are likely other issues that alerted the authorities- there was effectively a falling out over quality and pricing and authorities were involved. No doubt under the counter payments got them involved.
They got hold of the client’s phone and held him for having 256bit encryption on his banking app. The maximum allowed is 40 bits without written permission / a licence from the authorities.
