   Kolektiva just got all their info taken by the FBI because one of their admins had an unencrypted hard drive of virtually all user info in their home, which was seized when their home got raided. There’s, stupid, there’s retarded, theres fucking retarded, and then there’s whatever this is.

     @Shadowman311 A lot of people are functionally tech illiterate in our idiocratic Current Year, including those entrusted with important stuff.

     @Shadowman311 But it's of course doubly retarded to both have everything on an unencrypted hard drive and then run around setting off smoke bombs and doing similar things that'll get the FBI on your ass outside of ideological priorities.

     The best security is to be a ghost. If you're a user who's putting private information on an instance in light of all of the hacks, dumps, and subpoenas, you might be a fucking retard. You are your own best security.

     @PonyPanda @Shadowman311 most of us host on a VPS, and encrypting drives are useless on them since the hypervisor admins can be ordered to take a memory dump and extract the encryption key from there

     @Shadowman311 are most instances encrypted? Was Kolektiva self-hosted? What are the feds meant to do with user info on a bunch of commiefags on a gay fedi server? Other than discover their CP trade and statutory rape?
     
     When poa.st and bae.st got hacked... I was smiling the whole time because I knew that /ourguys/ are solid and there would be nothing scandalous much less incriminating.

     The charges he got raided for are conspiracy, civil disorder, and explosives, I guess the feds decided they didn't need their attack dogs anymore

     @lewdthewides @PonyPanda @Shadowman311 In this case what happened was the instance owner had an unencrypted backup lying around on a hdd, decided to get violent at a protest, and well you know what happened next.
