update: admins explained below. case closed.
Hey everyone
I thought this was something interesting I noticed and it probably is good for admins to let us know why @JohnLocke it happened.
There was a 12 hour-ish downtime of OCT and this was the topic used by admins to announce it OffshoreCorpTalk Downtime 12 hours exact.
Seemed pretty standard.
As much as I remember members like @jafo @JohnnyDoe @0xDEADBEEF commented from making jokes about a seized banner to giving technical advice etc., myself included. I would usually not have noticed (as I misclicked that is how I discovered) nor really cared but I did find it extremely weird since the responses had useful and valid points. Much more as I had advised members to use PGP encryption in their PMs (and demand it from counterparties) to not be allowed to be snooped even by admins.
To reiterate since it was deleted. Use PGP and demand it from counterparties - Tails - Encrypting text and files using GnuPG and Kleopatra and Let’s use PGP and TAILS: A Beginner’s Guide . PGP does not have (perfect) forward secrecy which means the encrypted texts can be collected by for example, LE and decrypt at a later date when powerful enough quantum computers are around Harvest now, decrypt later - Wikipedia . In ideal scenario you should be using PGP to exchange end-to-end encrypted IM details which you should be rotating and compartmentalizing based on the risk level of your given contact.
I am not trying to accuse anyone of anything but thought it was certainly 'interesting' as to why responses were deleted. Getting too much advice? Or ashamed of the advice/lack of competence (everyone starts from somewhere no issues there in my book)? Or did not want people commenting about how to secure themselves? Would be nice to have some explanation of it. It might not be of 'my business' but... every time valuable information on how to (approach) structure or properly setup offshore servers like others have mentioned, or how to ACTUALLY protect yourself on the Internet by utilizing PGP gets removed... it does raise some eyebrows.
Thank you.
