Accounts with third-party service providers were used “for exfiltration or infrastructure,” according to a post by law enforcement on LockBit’s seized darkweb domain.
Everyone should ask themselves what is their actual threat model. That will tell you whether not this news truly affects you. Any criminal worth their salt probably wouldn’t roll with Proton or Tuta if they practice good OpSec
What’s wrong with both Tuta and Proton? I’m by no means involved in any crime or anything, but I degooglefied and moved to Tuta for mail. Was considering self hosting, but I’ve been procrastinating it.
As you can see from this piece of news, an encrypted email service does nothing for your privacy. But at the same time it limits you and makes you a captive user. Which is ironic considering that’s probably why you left Google.
I mean, I left Google because I hated them tracking me 24/7, and trying to sell me stuff based on my profile, though privacy is indeed a concern. Any option you may recommend i could use while k move to a privet email server? I wanted to get out of Tuta anyway since their platform feels stiff.
Party of the snowden leaks were that the five eyes capture and record everything.
Everything.

I’ve been trying to explain this to people for years, but there’s so much blind love for Proton here that my comments are usually drowned out.
