In early July, another person provided Motherboard with screenshots of a Ciphr device. One screenshot showed that the user still had multiple days left on their subscription plan, but the status bar at the top of the screen read "disconnected." The person said the screenshots came from an Australian Ciphr phone.The encrypted phone industry source said that Ciphr has also stopped operating in America, but Motherboard has not seen screenshots from a U.S.-based device."We will not be providing a comment at this time," someone in control of Ciphr's media email address told Motherboard in July. The company provided an identical response when asked again last week.Are you a Ciphr user or distributor? Did you used to sell or use any phones from similar companies? We'd love to hear from you.
