Looks like "security LARPers" are at it again. I'd bet 99% of buyers will self destruct their laptop themselves, by accidentally bumping into the cord.
And to think now, the same people are pushing the narrative how PGP is bad.
- maltfield 5y agoHi, I'm Michael Altfield (Founder of the BusKill project). I'll take that bet because I'm pretty sure <99% of people will ever enable the self-destruct triggers :) BusKill does not ship with destructive triggers. The current app is limited to locking your screen. Future releases will include soft/hard shutdown. We do have a "LUKS Header Shredder" trigger (which we call self-destruct as it renders all the data on the FDE disk useless), but we (intentionally) don't include it by default and raise the barrier of entry because of the risk of data loss. We'll be publishing a more detailed write-up on the LUKS Header Shredder in 2 weeks. You can subscribe for updates on our website (buskill.in) or the campaign directly (crowdsupply.com) Also, while I recognize there are limits in PGP, I encourage it and actively train journalists and activists on how to use it (though I do prefer messaging solutions that make e2ee required and use PFS like Signal, Threema, Wire, etc).
