#ProtonMail Discloses User Data Leading to Arrest in Spain
「 The core of the controversy stems from Proton Mail providing the Spanish police with the recovery email address associated with the Proton Mail account of an individual using the pseudonym ‘Xuxo Rondinaire.’ This individual is suspected of being a member of the Mossos d’Esquadra (Catalonia’s police force) and of using their internal knowledge to assist the Democratic Tsunami movement 」
os habéis leído la forma en que identifican al individuo?
Protonmail es instrumental y necesario en el proceso porque la persona establece su cuenta de #APPLE como email de recuperación/apoyo, y a través de esa cuenta la IDENTIFICAN.
Poner en el titular a Protonmail y no a Apple dice mucho sobre quien redacta, sobre todo teniendo en cuenta los eslóganes publicitarios de esa empresa que dicen lo de «lo que pasa en tu apple se queda en tu apple», como una garantía de seguridad y privacidad. Wait!! No dice nada de anonimato!! (como Proton).
I created a filter that based on a CC mail address put a Label on every match, favorited the mail and put it in a separate folder.
Great. Except that there were 1600 mails using that CC that were filtered which shouldn't have been matched. I made a mistake.
And now there's NO way to correct, except for manually opening each and every mail to unfavorite and remove the label, then place it in the folders they originated
PSOE/Sumar coalition making a deal with Catalans to prop them into the gov't, then going after a Catalan independence supporter (just stating the events: I don't know much about Catalan independence movements)
People blaming Proton mainly for this, while probably the best approach is to hold gov'ts into account when such things happen (not to say Proton is blameless in anything)
I've been using, and paying for a #Tutanota email for over 3 years now. And I think I'm going to give it up.
After 3 years, it's still not possible to use OpenPGP, I have to use a dodgy system and give a password to everyone I want to email who doesn't use Tutanota.
Searching for emails is a pain, a real pain.
It is not possible to use any client other than Tutanota.
I came from #ProtonMail, and changed because their commercial com. became too aggressive for my taste. I may reconsider...
@protonprivacy#protonmail appears to be unreachable in some parts of the world, not only Turkey as the status page reports, both #desktop and #mobile app are not working
Seems like #protonmail is down. @protonprivacy your status page says everything is ok but I’m getting lots of internal server errors in the iOS app and on the web app.
Proton Mail automatically encrypts/decrypts messages between Proton Mail accounts via OpenPGP/PGP.
Proton Mail supports automatically encrypting/decrypting messages between Proton Mail accounts and external email accounts that support OpenPGP/PGP or GnuPG/GPG.
⚠️ According to @VilaWeb, @protonprivacy communicated the backup email address of a Catalan activist account to the Guardia Civil, Spanish law enforcement agency.
"... these organizations have replaced all their email ... with the Element app ... Element to secure our communications with partners, replacing email, ... "
Unless Element is running an email server for UNICC, that sounds like UNICC will try to convince UN staff/volunteers to stop using email. If they're currently using MS Outlook, that's understandable, but better would be to also get secure email e.g. #Protonmail.
I’ve decided to go full-in with my own mail server. The #ProtonMail bridge over SSH+VPN tunnel is no substitute for a proper mail server - plus it’s awfully slow when used as a full IMAP server and it breaks the IMAP implementation in a lot of ways.
I’ve created my new domain, gone through the configuration of DKIM/DMARC/SPF like a good postmaster, just to get immediately blacklisted by @spamhaus on my first outbound email.
I’ve been through this before, but in my previous experiences a blacklist removal ticket would be either resolved automatically or within a couple of hours at most.
In this case, nearly 24h and three tickets later and nothing is moving. Not even some directions on how to get removed or an ETA. The mailboxes have already been all migrated with forwarding configured on the old addresses, but outbound email is still broken because being blacklisted by a single company means being unable to communicate with nearly any mail servers out there.
Does anyone have any tips on how a #Spamhaus blacklist removal process can be sped up?
Everything you need to know about so-called 'Swiss Privacy' we learned decades ago from Operation Thesaurus, AKA, Operation Rubicon. We learned that CIA operations and black budget banking are actually headquartered in the Swiss underground.
If you trust any third-party server to protect your privacy, you're a rube. If you trust Proton Mail to protect your privacy, you're a rube getting 'crossed' by the Swiss Rubi-con. Either you own your keys and your data on your computer or else you have no privacy. Someone else's promise that your data will be 'encrypted' so they can't decipher it is a hollow pledge. If you send any form of plaintext to a remote server, no matter how much they claim to encrypt it, you have zero assurance of data privacy.
Anyone got any good alternatives to Proton for business email that still avoids data-mining etc? Trying to set up SMTP with Proton has so far involved opening a support ticket and getting asked things like what I sell, when do I launch, how many orders do I expect per hour and per day, and so on. I found that odd for a company supposedly focused on privacy. #protonmail#Email#privacy
Finally got around to moving my personal domain email addresses over to #ProtonMail. Not sure why I took so long honestly. But a recent email delivery failure was the motivation I needed. Was already using it for my darkfriend.social email addresses.
Sure, but the question was never "switching from XMPP" : #Signal is an entry-level application for people interested by privacy but without technical knowledge.
I have yet to succeed in convincing anyone to use #XMPP while I already convinced people in my circle of relations to use Signal.
And of the people I convinced to use #protonmail only maybe one in ten remembers their password or care to check their inbox from time to time.
