If I was working at Atlassian in the Australian office, I would be very worried about Atlassian pulling out of Australia. A lot of companies use Bitbucket. Atlassian could be compelled to sneak backdoors into other conpanies’ code. There would be issues around incorrect hashes, but most devs would put it down to a mistake on their part and just re-clone the repo. Some backdoors will go indetected and some won’t.
If you’re using Bitbucket, consider migrating to your own Gitlab instance, hosted in a country whose government values privacy.
- andrewstuart 8y agoWhat about the AWS Sydney region, and for that matter Google and Microsoft Australia?
- bigiain 8y agoAmazon Google and Microsoft all definitely have enough business interests in Australia to have become untrustworthy due to these laws. I wonder how long it’ll be until someone like Digital Ocean starts advertising “we have no Australian office, and we’ve let go all our Australian staff!”? (Having said that, DO are at least as susceptible to NSLs. I wonder who the most reliable non five eyes cloud hosting provider is?)
