    this is why you should encrypt everything on cloud services at rest. S3? encrypted. SQS? encrypted. MSSQL? encrypted.

    if you are a developer or SRE you need to make sure your apps are encrypted.

      Sounds good until you remember that they keep trying to backdoor encryption. It’s asinine.

      The only good thing the Trump admin JD Vance has done: UK will back down over its demands on Apple for an encryption backdoor

      This isn’t the first time it’s come up. In EU too.

        The UK government was also getting advice from its own cybersecurity people that the backdoor idea wasn’t viable.

        Vance deserves no credit for this or anything else.

      How dare you suggest that having a publicly accessible, unencrypted database is not a best practice. The nerve.

  As someone in the US who has been in audits where we had to attest to where our data was stored, also wtf.

    The article makes it pretty clear that this is due to a 2018 law called The Cloud Act. I’m sure the US could have tightened the thumbscrews and gotten the information illegally before then, but that’s going to be true of every country. No reason to think you can trust any government.
