And all for the low low cost of a MITM
- rovr138 6y agoLike any other hosted email client.
- wadkar 6y agoI am not sure I understand, can you please explain (or link me?)
- davidmurdoch 6y agoIf Apple can redirect the email to you, they can also store and read these emails.
- ninkendo 6y agoBy that logic so can google with gmail: of course they can, but that’s why we have to put some level of basic trust in our email providers. If you don’t want an MITM, you’re basically stuck with PGP or hosting your own email service.
- TurningCanadian 6y agoIf you use Apple SSO but your email is hosted elsewhere, Apple has introduced themselves as a MITM for your email. Facebook SSO doesn't do that.
- zuppy 6y agoyou can use apple sso with the real e-mail too, as far as I remember. it’s an option.
- bigiain 6y agoLavabit used to not be able to do that, and Protonmail can't either still... (To be fair, Lavabit _could have_ made changes so they could do that, but the owner refused when law enforcement asked him to do that fpr Snowden's email, and risked very real threats of jail instead. I don't think Protonmail have been tested lie that yet, but they have at least incorporated outside of US jurisdiction,which changes their risk in some important ways...) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lavabit https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lavabit
- davidmurdoch 6y agoOh sure, it's just that it adds another "man in the middle", where previously there was only your own email provider.
