Statements
==========
The BusKill Team who have digitally signed this file [1]
state the following:
1. The date of issue of this canary is June 11, 2024.
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
=====================
None.
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.
