</span><span style="color:#323232;">Statements
</span><span style="color:#323232;">==========
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">The BusKill Team who have digitally signed this file [1]
</span><span style="color:#323232;">state the following:
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">1. The date of issue of this canary is June 11, 2024.
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">2. The current BusKill Signing Key (2020.07) is
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">   E0AF FF57 DC00 FBE0 5635  8761 4AE2 1E19 36CE 786A
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">3. We positively confirm, to the best of our knowledge, that the 
</span><span style="color:#323232;">   integrity of our systems are sound: all our infrastructure is in our 
</span><span style="color:#323232;">   control, we have not been compromised or suffered a data breach, we 
</span><span style="color:#323232;">   have not disclosed any private keys, we have not introduced any 
</span><span style="color:#323232;">   backdoors, and we have not been forced to modify our system to allow 
</span><span style="color:#323232;">   access or information leakage to a third party in any way.
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">4. We plan to publish the next of these canary statements before the
</span><span style="color:#323232;">   Expiry date listed above. Special note should be taken if no new
</span><span style="color:#323232;">   canary is published by that time or if the list of statements changes
</span><span style="color:#323232;">   without plausible explanation.
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Special announcements
</span><span style="color:#323232;">=====================
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">None.
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Disclaimers and notes
</span><span style="color:#323232;">=====================
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">This canary scheme is not infallible. Although signing the 
</span><span style="color:#323232;">declaration makes it very difficult for a third party to produce 
</span><span style="color:#323232;">arbitrary declarations, it does not prevent them from using force or 
</span><span style="color:#323232;">other means, like blackmail or compromising the signers' laptops, to 
</span><span style="color:#323232;">coerce us to produce false declarations.
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">The news feeds quoted below (Proof of freshness) serves to 
</span><span style="color:#323232;">demonstrate that this canary could not have been created prior to the 
</span><span style="color:#323232;">date stated. It shows that a series of canaries was not created in 
</span><span style="color:#323232;">advance.
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">This declaration is merely a best effort and is provided without any 
</span><span style="color:#323232;">guarantee or warranty. It is not legally binding in any way to 
</span><span style="color:#323232;">anybody. None of the signers should be ever held legally responsible 
</span><span style="color:#323232;">for any of the statements made here.

What is BusKill?

BusKill is a laptop kill-cord. It’s a USB cable with a magnetic breakaway that you attach to your body and connect to your computer.

If the connection between you to your computer is severed, then your device will lock, shutdown, or shred its encryption keys – thus keeping your encrypted data safe from thieves that steal your device.
