Odaily Planet Daily News: Bitcoin News posted on X platform that Boltz has updated its PGP-signed warrant canary, a transparency measure used by privacy-related companies to publicly indicate that they have not received any secret government orders requiring them to hand over user data.
The company's previous canary was dated May 31. Although it committed to updating every 60 days, the canary expired around July 30. Its notice had previously asked users to "assume the worst" if no update was made.
Boltz stated that the expiration was due to oversight, as its team was dealing with an AI-assisted infrastructure attack that lasted for months, which ultimately led to the indefinite suspension of its swap services.
The warrant canary has now been updated. Boltz stated that since the platform operates in a non-custodial model, user funds were never at risk.
