Overview
- The subpoena, dated October 30, seeks the customer name, service and billing addresses, length of service, phone and SMS connection logs, payment details, internet session times, device identifiers, IP addresses, and types of services used.
- The document says the requested information relates to a federal criminal investigation but does not specify any alleged offense.
- Archive.today publicly posted the subpoena on its X account, with German outlet Heise first noting its existence before wider English-language coverage.
- Tucows said it will comply when served with valid legal process and, per Hackread, was given a November 29 deadline to furnish records.
- The site’s operator remains unconfirmed despite years of speculation, with the listed registrant "Denis Petrov" widely considered an alias and the service running mirrors such as Archive.is and Archive.ph; recent actions against paywall-circumvention tools provide a tense backdrop.
