Elude.in is not compromised

Formatted signed message: https://paste2.org/KvCYZ1PU

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512

Hello all,

We apologize for causing any worry but we are here to confirm that Elude.in is not compromised. We are a donation funded team of developers focused primarily on other endeavors and we simply forgot to update the monthly announcement. We will update the announcement page shortly and ensure that the monthly security message will be posted consistently in the future.

Additionally, we have been subject to DDOS attacks which caused some downtime recently. We do our best to ensure 100% uptime but it is not unusual for our services to go down temporarily.

Thank you for the continued support, and we hope our service continues to benefit the community. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE-----

to quote myself

this isnt the first time you forgot to update this key.

your service simply cannot be trusted at all. im sorry in that case to be the asshole.

Honestly I never thought you were compromised but this is something that you've set yourself up for disaster. Plenty other email services do not provide a monthly signed post and nobody cries compromised with them, if you're going to be making promises of signed messages then you better follow through on them or this is what happens.

On another note, I tried to contact you guys through the form on your site and every time I submitted I was given and error page, this persisted after multiple attempts throughout the day.

That on top of the lack of signed post was leaning me towards temporarily removing you guys from the list as a precaution.

So the fact is you need to find a balance here. Either promise to sign a message every month and do so or do not promise that and do so when requested by users. A more direct form of contact would also be nice, since if your site is down we have little in terms of contact.

edit: I also can't verify this message, not even the one you linked to so you're gunna have to try again.

Nice try, Leo.

BAD signature from:

Elude.in Support (Administrative Account) <support<at>elude.in>

Key ID: 559D9067FD7DF541

The file is corrupted

It's probably because some slight part of the message is messed up. I can't tell. Put four spaces in front of each line if you want to make the message's format display correctly in a reddit post.


[1 Points] dnmthrowawayobvious:

Okay so you want people to trust your service but you can’t even sign your canary every month? It’s not like “oh yea we probably need to update that thing” it’s more like if you don’t update when you say you will you are either extremely lazy/retarded/compromised.

Therefore I will not be using your service and implore other users to follow suit.
