Silent Circle: We haven’t been served a single demand for data

Secure app maker Silent Circle has denied ever being served a secret demand for user data, amid concerns over the weekend suggesting the contrary.

In an email, general counsel Matt Neiderman confirmed the company has not received a warrant “of any type” to date.

The maker of encrypted phone and messaging products was caught in a mini-storm Saturday when reports suggested its warrant canary, a tool designed to alert the receipt of a warrant that comes with a gag order, was missing an explicit declaration that it had not been compromised by a government data demand.
