The BusKill project just published their Warrant Canary #010 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 Status: All good Release: 2025-06-16 Period: 2025-06-01 to 2026-05-31 Expiry: 2026-06-30 Statements ========== The BusKill Team who have digitally signed this file [1] state the following: 1. The date of issue of this canary is July 16, 2025. 2. The current BusKill Signing Key (2020.07) is E0AF FF57 DC00 FBE0 5635 8761 4AE2 1E19 36CE 786A 3. We positively confirm, to the best of our knowledge, that the integrity of our systems are sound: all our infrastructure is in our control, we have not been compromised or suffered a data breach, we have not disclosed any private keys, we have not introduced any backdoors, and we have not been forced to modify our system to allow access or information leakage to a third party in any way. 4. We plan to publish the next of these canary statements before the Expiry date listed above. Special note should be taken if no new canary is published by that time or if the list of statements changes without plausible explanation. Special announcements ===================== 1. We are changing from twice-yearly to once-yearly canaries Disclaimers and notes ===================== This canary scheme is not infallible. Although signing the declaration makes it very difficult for a third party to produce arbitrary declarations, it does not prevent them from using force or other means, like blackmail or compromising the signers' laptops, to coerce us to produce false declarations. The news feeds quoted below (Proof of freshness) serves to demonstrate that this canary could not have been created prior to the date stated. It shows that a series of canaries was not created in advance. This declaration is merely a best effort and is provided without any guarantee or warranty. It is not legally binding in any way to anybody. None of the signers should be ever held legally responsible for any of the statements made here.
