ExpressVPN 在土耳其的 VPN server 被抄...

ExpressVPN 在土耳其的 VPN server 被抄,為了調查大使的刺殺案件:「VPN Server Seized to Investigate Russian Ambassador’s Assassination」。

A VPN server operated by ExpressVPN was seized by Turkish authorities to investigate the assassination of Andrei Karlov, the Russian Ambassador to Turkey. Authorities hoped to find more information on people who removed digital traces of the assassin, but the server in question held no logs.

ExpressVPN 官方的回覆在「ExpressVPN statement on Andrey Karlov investigation」,主要的部份是:

As we stated to Turkish authorities in January 2017, ExpressVPN does not and has never possessed any customer connection logs that would enable us to know which customer was using the specific IPs cited by the investigators. Furthermore, we were unable to see which customers accessed Gmail or Facebook during the time in question, as we do not keep activity logs. We believe that the investigators’ seizure and inspection of the VPN server in question confirmed these points.

至於是不是真的,就需要時間確認了...

Facebook 對於臥底警察的威脅

因為 Face recognition (人臉識別) 功能,再加上像 Facebook 這種社群網站的功能,將會使得臥底警察非常難以隱藏身份:「Social Media a Threat To Undercover Cops」。

Slashdot 上的 comment 覺得這樣反到是相當棒,本來就不應該有臥底...
