So don't be surprised when the slightest court order lands on a fake CIA operation, and they cave immediately to create case law, in Switzerland or elsewhere, because that's what they're there to do, fold. When you see a well funded company in encryption like this, I suggest you ask who the f**k funded that and who is the target audience. These spy agencies rigged the company’s devices so they could easily break the codes that countries used to send encrypted messages. "But what none of its customers ever knew was that Crypto AG was secretly owned by the CIA in a highly classified partnership with West German intelligence. Its clients included Iran, military juntas in Latin America, nuclear rivals India and Pakistan, and even the Vatican."

" The Swiss firm made millions of dollars selling equipment to more than 120 countries well into the 21st century. Whenever dealing with "Swiss" stuff that feels America, (I class Proton Mail as this), you should recall Crypto AG, the "Swiss" encryption system, that was actually a CIA front. The US pushed them to backdoor their privacy right, so they added a IP logging in the copyright law, but that's for copyright infringement.

All I could find was copyright related (Article 77i CopA). show me the law that says any such thing, that somehow cannot be challenged!īetter still show me the court order itself. As to a court order requiring you to implement such logging when demanded. These updates come shortly after ProtonMail revealed it was expanding its encrypted contacts feature to its mobile app.If they weren't logging those IP addresses and connection strings, there was nothing to seize. The company has added a number of new features and tools to its arsenal over the past couple of years, including two-factor authentication (2FA), Tor support, multilingual access, support for desktop email clients, and a standalone virtual private network app called ProtonVPN.Īlongside this latest update, ProtonMail introduced a couple of other handy features, including a “merge contacts” tool and a preview option for calendar attachments. ProtonMail was founded out of CERN in 2013 and launched globally in March 2016. Using “pm” is clever as it’s not only a contraction of “ProtonMail,” it’s also a commonly used acronym for “private message,” which is basically ProtonMail’s bread and butter. The company said that before settling on it dabbled with a few alternatives, including - but that one would obviously have caused a little bit of confusion with a certain other email service out there. It saves them having to spell out the full ProtonMail domain to those who are unfamiliar with the service, plus it looks a hell of a lot neater written down. On the surface, this is a small rollout, but it is the kind of feature that typically resonates well with users.
