FAQs We have received some questions in relation to security of this process. Here follows part of a response I wrote to a Subscriber who raised some concerns: Hi A.... I fully understand your concerns. I hope I can clarify them for you.
1) My computer has not been compromised. The way they block me is via cutting communications on the network to certain IP addresses, specifically the streaming provider Dave uses, based on my MAC address and IP address. I suspect the attack that occurred when my screens went black was done through an X10 protocol or similar method (I can explain this method to you in more detail if you'd like). That was not my computer I used but happened at another location using someone else's computer. 2) Yes, it is me, Gideon, monitoring this email at present until such time as we have moved the website to a different hosting service. This process is underway. The video chat happens over an end-to-end encrypted open source platform. We use open source because many people work on the software and plug any holes or fix bugs. Further, because it is open source one can be sure there are no government backdoors. We further don't record the conversation, for obvious reasons, so there is no footage and because it is end-to-end encrypted, the hosting platform can't record it either. Well, they could, but it would be encrypted and thus of no use.
