Friends,
We’re happy to announce that you can now purchase USB Type-C BusKill cables.
One of the most common requests from our customers since we started shipping BusKill cables 4 years ago has been for a cable that can be plugged directly into a computer with USB-C ports (without a USB-A to USB-C adapter).

| BusKill Kit (USB-A) | BusKill Kit (USB-C) |
In the past, we generally recommended the use of an adapter or for users to build their own cable. Today, we're happy to add that you can now buy a BusKill cable with a USB Type-C tip directly from our web store.
Note that the BusKill cable’s other end (the female USB receptacle) still uses USB Type-A, for accepting USB-A thumb drives.
What is BusKill?
BusKill is a laptop kill-cord. It's a USB cable with a magnetic breakaway that you attach to your body and connect to your computer.

If the connection between you to your computer is severed, then your device will lock, shutdown, or shred its encryption keys
thus keeping your encrypted data safe from thieves that steal your device.

If you want to help our open-source project, please consider purchasing a BusKill cable for yourself or a loved one. It helps us fund further development, and you get your own BusKill cable to keep you or your loved ones safe.
You can also buy a BusKill cable with bitcoin, monero, and other altcoins from our BusKill Store's .onion site.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA512
Status: All good
Release: 2026-06-02
Period: 2026-06-01 to 2027-05-31
Expiry: 2027-06-30
Statements
==========
The BusKill Team who have digitally signed this file [1]
state the following:
1. The date of issue of this canary is June 02, 2026.
2. The current BusKill Signing Key (2020.07) is
E0AF FF57 DC00 FBE0 5635 8761 4AE2 1E19 36CE 786A
3. We positively confirm, to the best of our knowledge, that the
integrity of our systems are sound: all our infrastructure is in our
control, we have not been compromised or suffered a data breach, we
have not disclosed any private keys, we have not introduced any
backdoors, and we have not been forced to modify our system to allow
access or information leakage to a third party in any way.
4. We plan to publish the next of these canary statements before the
Expiry date listed above. Special note should be taken if no new
canary is published by that time or if the list of statements changes
without plausible explanation.
Special announcements
=====================
None.
Disclaimers and notes
=====================
This canary scheme is not infallible. Although signing the
declaration makes it very difficult for a third party to produce
arbitrary declarations, it does not prevent them from using force or
other means, like blackmail or compromising the signers' laptops, to
coerce us to produce false declarations.
The news feeds quoted below (Proof of freshness) serves to
demonstrate that this canary could not have been created prior to the
date stated. It shows that a series of canaries was not created in
advance.
This declaration is merely a best effort and is provided without any
guarantee or warranty. It is not legally binding in any way to
anybody. None of the signers should be ever held legally responsible
for any of the statements made here.
Proof of freshness

What is a Warrant Canary?
The BusKill team publishes cryptographically signed warrant canaries on an annual basis.
Although security is one of our top priorities, we might not be able to inform you of of a breach if served with a State-issued, secret subpoena (gag order).
The purpose of publishing these canary statements is to indicate to our users the integrity of our systems.
For more information about BusKill canaries, see:

Executive Summary
In 2025, we're changing from a twice-yearly Warrant Canary to a once-yearly-canary plus a new once-yearly-annual-report.
In 2025, we published two video to help spread awareness, provide a clear demo, and show how to use BusKill.
And in 2025, we were awarded a grant from Futo.
Happy New Year!
We're looking forward to continuing to improve the BusKill software and looking for other avenues to distribute our hardware BusKill cable to make it more accessible this year.
