eXch was not charged with anything up to this date. We got one subpoena from a court in Germany 3 months ago and another one from U.S. Secret Service delegated by a court 7 months ago. We weren't notified about any outcome. It indicates that the cases were either archived or are still being elaborated. In any case, these orders assume requesting data from us in a role of a service provider, not the heist originator, therefore it's doubtful they will come with any enforcement action addressed to our service at all since our service is not even USA/Germany based, nor we have any entities that could be exposed to extradition risks.
Apart from that, we had many other requests this year coming from different police departments around the world related to cybercrime investigations.
No data was disclosed from our end to any of these.
We are also working on creating a /transparency section at our website that should be live this month where we will publish each received LE request.
We are very proud to be able to fight for the cryptocurrency neutrality and provide resilient services aiming to countermeasure censorship.
Thanks for sharing this. Honestly, I am quite surprised that there is so much pressure and demand for data, and I am glad that there are still services that will take care of the privacy of their users.
Can you refer to GDPR compliance and care for the personal data of your users when not providing them in such cases?
