Can anyone tell me if "emenger" is safe to use? It's making the rounds as a way to contact loved ones in Iran.

It doesn't require personal info to sign up, but I think the messages are completely open to whoever is providing the service.

There are a few sussy things here, like the Icelandic domain name service.

But the non-Iranian servers are in Georgia. They then bridge the gap over to Iran.

What can we glean from this? US network graph operation?
