I wanted to bring attention to some concerning practices and claims made by Sekur.com, a company marketing itself as a privacy-focused communication solution. After investigating their website and public statements, I’ve found several red flags that I believe our community should be aware of:
Dubious Claims
- Sekur claims that “99.8% of all hacks are open source” without providing any supporting evidence. This statement contradicts widely accepted cybersecurity knowledge.
- They use buzzwords like “military grade end-to-end encryption” without substantiating these claims or providing technical details.
Lack of Transparency
- Sekur’s products are entirely proprietary and not open source, which they actually tout as a feature.
- There’s no evidence of third-party security audits for their products.
Website Issues
- Their website employs various trackers, including potential keyboard and mouse tracking. You can verify this using the Blacklight Report on Sekur.
- They use ads on their website, which seems at odds with their privacy-focused marketing.
Other Concerns
- They do not accept cryptocurrency payments, which might be important for some privacy-conscious users.
Evidence
I’ve compiled some screenshots and archives to support these points:
