- zokier 11y agoHushMail... wow, that's some history right there. Anyways, they got in bed with feds, and that was pretty much the end of that.. http://www.wired.com/2007/11/encrypted-e-mai http://www.wired.com/2007/11/encrypted-e-mai
- runn1ng 11y ago"Even we cannot read your e-mails!" Exactly what those guys said 10 years ago, and exactly what Proton is saying now. What is different?
- LeoPanthera 11y agoThe difference is that they are lying. Hushmail encryption is not end-to-end. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hushmail https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hushmail
- Flimm 11y agoYou're correct. It can't possibly be end-to-end, since they have the keys, and they can provide webmail. They use OpenPGP but they give themselves the private key! This is dishonest, in my view.
