I was wondering about something similar yesterday; the feasibility of a provider truthfully indicating receipt whilst staying within the confines of the law.
For a 'regular' warrant, a provider can "confirm" or "deny" being served. Presumably they can "deny" being served a secret warrant if one hasn't been served, because the terms of a secret warrant presumably only require them to decline acknowledgement if they've been served, in which case they could "neither confirm nor deny", couldn't they?
- dedward 13y agoYou can't reveal that you've been served. What you actually tell people is your problem, not the courts.
- chii 13y agoits not as simple as that imho. What if you had a security vulnerability on a server which contains a record of NSL's/subpoenas (for administration purposes), which is conveniently exposed on the internet. A customer could "hack" your server, and obtain the information, thus it isn't the ISP's fault - in fact, the isp claims no knowledge of this vulnerability at all.
