Cryptome Log Subpoenaed

Posted by chrisd on from the john-has-my-tie dept.

PaulBu writes "Stopped by on Cryptome tonight... It seems that their logs have been subpoenaed by Massachusetts Assistant Attorney General Chief, Corruption, Fruad (sic) & Computer Crime Division. Cryptome's answer was that "logs of Cryptome are deleted daily, or more often during heavy traffic, to protect the privacy of visitors to the site." (Good job!) See here"

    ... why not just change the log format to not include any personally trackable data (IP address, username, any cookie info, etc). Using Apache, this is very simple with the CustomLog directive.

    Then you still have proper log files so you can create reports on traffic, bandwidth, and all the other goodies logs are intended for.
