German authorities seize 'BlueLeaks' server that hosted data on US cops
- gruez 6y agoToo late, the dataset is on bittorrent and probably replicated around the world thousands of times.
- raxxorrax 6y agoDon't host that stuff in Germany. It is not a safe country to host such data. Few countries are, but German authorities will always cooperate with US ones.
- toomuchtodo 6y agoSwitzerland would've been better.
- gruez 6y agoDoesn't the US have mutual assistance treaties with Switzerland? If anything you want to host it in a non-US aligned country like Russia or China.
- toomuchtodo 6y agoMy understanding is that you have to break Swiss law for them to hand over your gear (having colocated equipment there for a customer years ago who wanted to be beyond the reach of the US jurisdiction; this was legal advice provided by the customer's counsel, IANAL). Things could've changed in the last ~10 years.
