Anonabox Kickstarter Campaign Suspended

Anonabox, the Kickstarter campaign that saw success last week, has been permanently suspended. Funding was halted for the project after a Kickstarter review of allegations about the device’s originality.

The campaign’s funding goal of $7,500 was surpassed on its first day, and it eventually gained over $500,000 in pledges. However, the campaign’s initial success was disrupted when a developer for the project, August Germar, participated in a Reddit AMA about the device.

Redditor asherlangton pointed out the hardware’s similarity to existing devices.
