Yesterday, Liberty Safe landed in major hot water when many accused the company of sacrificing the security of their customers and bending to the feds with no pushback.
After their absolutely BRUTAL online treatment yesterday, Liberty Safe is attempting to do a little damage control.
I'm going to summarize this for you:
- Liberty Safes followed industry standards and always kept backdoor access to their safes. Until this case, this was never a problem. Now, however, they know they messed up. From now on, if you don't want Liberty to have access to your safe, you can opt out of the backdoor access code program and Liberty will expunge the records of your safe's code.
- ALSO, for new customers, they will have the choice upon purchase whether or not to have this backup code in case of an emergency.
- ALSO ALSO, Liberty is not going to hand over these codes at a mere request from law enforcement, but instead require a subpoena and legal compulsion.
In my opinion, this is not a bad response at all.
It addresses all of the issues customers had with the policy and shows that Liberty is going to fight for your rights and security now as a matter of policy.
Of course, many are not quick to forgive and forget after the initial breach of trust, so the comments are filled with memes and "it's too late" and "I don't believe you" messages.
What say you? Has Liberty won back your trust? Or has that bridge forever been burned?
