So "FBI theft" should be a new failure mode to defend against in web applications, right after SQLi and XSS? I'm handling this by not having any servers in the USA, hopefully GB is safe.
- jordanthoms 14y agoYeah, this gives a whole new meaning to having live backups/redundancy. I guess this is an advantage of hosting on EC2 since there would be difficult for the FBI to seize the physical server.
- danudey 14y agoIt would be easier on EC2 since the FBI could just have Amazon clone your EBS volume and you'd never be the wiser.
- jordanthoms 14y agoAbsolutely, that wasn't my point. Since the FBI could do that, you are unlikely to get your server seized from an unrelated raid. Still, a crappy situation.
