SKS and GnuPG related issues and possible workarounds

[Ryan McGinnis]

I believe this list is web accessible to non-subscribers, so being subscribed here or not subscribed here doesn’t mean much.  Just that if you post here someone who is willing to do this attack (maybe not even the original someone - this is an attack literally anyone can do) is reading what you write.

*waves at someone*

At any rate, this just underscores what I suspect the original attacker was trying to make clear: stick a fork in SKS servers, they’re dead.
