Comments on: Silent but Mega, Kim Dotcom’s file-sharing comeback http://www.crikey.com.au/2013/01/21/silent-but-mega-kim-dotcoms-file-sharing-comeback/ now with extra source Thu, 23 May 2013 14:23:45 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Scott http://www.crikey.com.au/2013/01/21/silent-but-mega-kim-dotcoms-file-sharing-comeback/comment-page-1/#comment-234998 Scott Mon, 21 Jan 2013 09:31:03 +0000 http://www.crikey.com.au/?p=343508#comment-234998 Problem with silent circle is that they haven't released all their source code yet, which is standard to prove that there are no government back doors in the code. They have only released small chunks of it. Also, The fact that this company has been created by ex Navy Seals and British SAS members, people who have been indoctrinated to put their country above all else, would make me hesitant to assume it is completely secure.

The main difference though from other cloud storage vendors is that Mega, like Silent Circle, probably does not contain backdoors, where as Google and DropBox almost certainly do IMHO.
