I can't actively say too much about the security of Protonmail.
However, I do know a lot of people that know the founder (Andy Yen) socially and they all uniformly think he's a scumbag. (Doing things like going to car shows with a junker saying that his nice <insert car here> is in the shop, other generally sketchy/manipulative actions.)
Overall, I'd say Protonmail is good at being a hype machine and while there may be some technical correctness in what they're doing, it's not a business you'd want to rely on.
- Something1234 8y agoHow is showing off a junker at a car show a manipulative action?
- sp527 8y agoMay not be manipulative, but it certainly speaks to Yen's state of mind.
- MaupitiBlue 8y agoInsecure about his junker car? So what?
- artemisyna 8y agoI should've included an extra clause or two there. Showing up with a junker with the explicit purpose to pick up chicks. And doing this repeatedly/bragging loudly about it. On one hand it doesn't necessarily speak to the guy's technical capabilities. On the other hand, I at least wouldn't trust the guy to be principled enough to not pass this stuff over to <insert x group here>. (Especially if it was at the right price.)
