    This is more politics than technology, but it’s good info for people living outside the US. You can’t trust your data to American companies no matter where they store the data.

      Even non-American CSPs with assets in the US would required to cooperate with US regime and affiliated oligarch gangs.

        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.

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

          /s in case the link didn’t make it obvious.

          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.

              Well, I don’t want to credit tumor, oop typo for Trump but I’ll allow it. So tumor and vance.

              It was more that Encryption is constantly under threat. I don’t know how that gets downvoted.

    I can not understand why there is not an enormous backlash from companies about this. All their employees have all the sensitive information on Microsoft servers. But watch out if you bring a USB stick to work…
