I thought my pgp program was messed up but that's not the case. I tried importing 4 vendors pgp keys into Openkeychain and nothing came up. So I tried importing one of the Mods pgp and it worked just fine. Could someone be changing just enough to make these vendor keys look legit at first glance? Forcing you to use auto encrypt seems like it. I swore off drugs and the DNM s after all the crap, but I'm trying to investigate to help you guys out.
Also if these vendors are compromised would they still ship?
Edit: I went all throughout different categories. The pgp keys would not import. I have never had this problem once!
sometimes vendor post their keys but leave a '' '' space at the end of the key phrase by mistake, so make sure you press delete once / don't double-click and copy / or just copy text-only manually.
that happened to me many times.
