Lmao imagine that. However mega brands itself its still mostly a cyberlocker for shady content and of leaks. Nobody uses it for security.
Still interesting research tho.
- naniwaduni 4y agoYeah the "attack" is a bit out there when it's broadly assumed that the point of MEGA's encryption isn't to protect users' data, it's to protect MEGA from the insinuation that it might know what data its service is being used to store, much of which is, of course, content that no right-thinking company could store in good conscience. Good thing MEGA can't know what the users are doing. Just, I guess, take it under advisement for what designs don't work if you actually care about protecting user data.
- azalemeth 4y agoI know doctors who have (legally) shared medical images with it, because it offers much more storage than other providers and works everywhere in a browser. It is also far, far better than the "proper" channels. Similarly, I've received work-related files on it from "official big dog" people in "big companies". It's got a following beyond piracy (but because they don't post links online, you probably haven't heard about it as much).
- closewith 4y agoIt would presumably be a fairly lax data protection jurisdiction where storing medical data on Mega is lawful. They don’t seem to be HIPAA compliant, anyway.
- bee_rider 4y agoI've always sort of assumed (although I should be clear that this is 100% speculation), that given his widely reported legal trouble, the fact that he isn't in jail, and the fact that MEGA is basically branded as "wink not wink for doing crimes," that MEGA was pretty likely to be a law enforcement honeypot.
