En Wero draait op (tadaa) het Amerikaanse Amazon Web Services. Van de regen in de drup.
divVerent@bert_hubert Despite this it may still be worth using, but we would definitely need to be strong in lobbying towards getting them off American services.
From command `dig -t any wero-wallet.eu`:
- Amazon for DNS: `wero-wallet.eu. 86400 IN NS ns-155.awsdns-19.com.`
- Microsoft for E-Mail: `wero-wallet.eu. 3600 IN MX 0 werowallet-eu01b.mail.protection.outlook.com.`
- Digital Ocean for hosting: `wero-wallet.eu. 3600 IN A 142.93.239.121` and `wero-wallet.eu. 3600 IN AAAA 2a03:b0c0:2:d0::115a:1001`
- Google for "site verification: `wero-wallet.eu. 3600 IN TXT "google-site-verification=mXzESlCJHy0hf-CC4eArUzeTYVsfCyqZpx2tdc3UAO0"` (this one might be a harmless SEO thing)
From visiting the website I see HTTP requests to the following non-EU domains:
- vimeo.com (in the US)
- plyr.io (in the UK)
- zdassets.com (i.e. ZenDesk, in the US)
- hs-scripts.com (i.e. HubSpot, in the US)
This also lists a `weropay.eu` domain. This in addition finds:
- Amazon for E-Mail: `weropay.eu. 300 IN TXT "v=spf1 include:amazonses.com -all"`
Not very European at all. I didn't list the few EU services they use, but it was less than 30% of the total.
Using Amazon and Microsoft for E-Mail means they cannot have any US-sanctioned employees. Using Digital Ocean and various Javascript hosts from the US means the US can get at the data.

@divVerent Note that this is "just" the marketing page for Wero. Payments themselves flow through the APIs of the participating banks, not through wero-wallet.eu @bert_hubert
@jwildeboer @divVerent trust me, I checked, Wero fully relies on AWS to function. Also those banks are also on AWS/Azure.
@bert_hubert @jwildeboer Out of curiosity, how does on check? Does user traffic actually hit AWS (or even just Amazon managed DNS domains)?
This is precisely what I will try to check once I can use it, and annoy customer support and regulators about it.
