-4. To avoid future incidents, we have amended the procedure on signing warrant +4. Recent attacks on OpenPGP keyservers have raised great security concerns 
-canary documentsand added new Statement to prevent similar issues.+within the community, as a countermeasure, persmule's personal User-ID has 
 +not published to the https://keys.openpgp.org/ keyserver. Insteadonly 
 +cryptographic information can be obtained from the keyserver, without any 
 +User-ID. Currently, it's impossible to import OpenPGP public key without 
 +User-ID to a standard GnuPG installation, as a result, it's not possible 
 +for a 3rd-party to verify the canary document signed by persmule.

-this version is valid.+option is starting publishing new canary documents using the new key
 +As a temporary measure, you can check the canary documents signed by 
 +biergaizi and wnereiz to decide the validity of the Statements. By signing 
 +their own copies, it indicates that the new key has been verified privately 
 +by them as valid. 
 + 
 +6. This effectively reduced the number of signers to two people. It reduces 
 +the level of confidence, but currently there is no alternative option yet. 
 + 
 +7. Once the technical problem of OpenPGP public key without User-ID is 
 +resolved, you can check the previous signatures retroactively, and this 
 +would effectively restore the level of confidence. You can archive 
 +persmule's signature as soon as it's published to your own machine to 
 +ensure no data tampering has occured. 
 + 
 +8. Unlike persmule, biergaizi and wnereiz's signing keys are unchanged, 
 +but the Key-IDs have been changed to its full fingerprint format in the 
 +canary document for clarity. 
 + 
 +9. When new information is available, it will be published in the "Special 
 +Announcements" section in future warrant canary documents.
