Yep. Lavabit. Centralized is never raid/DDoS-proof.
Okay boys, take all these servers because evidence is hiding on them and these lefty pinkos aren't helping us find it. Let's get them back to the lab to find out what that evidence is.
- sicco 5y agoAfaik, Signal uses AWS. Is a raid/confiscation of AWS servers even possible?
- Red_Leaves_Flyy 5y agoWhy raid when they can just ssh in?
- Y_Y 5y agoIt's cheaper.
- BlueTemplar 5y agoIt's always possible, but the collateral damage might be pretty bad...
- dylan604 5y agoWouldn't the system see a raid's confiscation of a server as just a down machine and do the normal thing to bring up a new server to handle the load correctly? "Okay boys, now go get that server. Wait, now that one, now that one"
- heavyset_go 5y agoYes, they're just one court order or subpoena away. With a gag order, you'll never even know it happened.
- PeterisP 5y agoOf course, Amazon is a US company, so with the proper subpoena from a US court AWS technicians will [have to] deliver images of the virtual servers and/or remove them and/or modify them or whatever else is requested, without the right to inform the customer if the subpoena says so.
