Hello All!

ProtonMail Explains Why It Shared a User's IP Address With
Police

Even a secure email service can't ignore a legally binding
order from Swiss authorities.

ProtonMail advertises itself as the world's largest secure
email service, and yet it recently shared the IP address and
device details of a customer with Swiss and French authorities,
which led to an arrest.

"While ProtonMail didn't cooperate with French authorities,
French police sent a request to Swiss police via Europol to
force the company to obtain the IP address of one of its
users."

And this surprises.... nobody.

Services like Lavabit who rather shutdown than surrender their TLS certificates
to the authorities are an exception rather than a rule.
