  I'm curious about who this cloud provider might be.
  • spoopyskelly 7y ago
    The local IP for the OpenVPN endpoint (185.212.149.9 listed in the gist) belongs to creanova.org since 2017.

    I guess that all decryption keys are on ram. If the power is disconnected, then it would need a manual intervention to re-decrypt the data

    Likely booting the OS from a RAM-disk and mounting as read-only.

  NordVPN is down, also looks like VikingVPN and TorGuard were affected as well: https://twitter.com/cryptostorm_is/status/1186097950327476224 https://twitter.com/cryptostorm_is/status/118609795032747622...

    The thing that scares me here is that these keys were leaked May 2018, and it's becoming public knowledge now. Someone found certificates for those three VPN providers and posted them to 8chan with a message like "I don't recommend these VPN providers lol" The good news is that they're only certificates, and they have now expired, but theoretically they could have been used for the past year without anyone noticing.

      During the spate of health care information leakage, someone invented a MTBCA, meaning "Meantime to CEO Apology" for the time between the breach and the CEO apology. At that time, it was running on the order of 8 months.
