- vinni2 3y agowhich is easier to trace presumably?
- thih9 3y agoI suppose not by much if you create a new one or use somebody else’s data. I’m sure the proton one wasn’t also someone’s main email account.
- helsinkiandrew 3y agoBut Google will usually provide logs/IP addresses (not content) to police without a warrant, which can be used to start tracking down the culprit. It isn't clear from the report if the Police got a warrant or even made a request to ProtonMail.
- spacecadet 3y agoMost do not just sign in to a compromised account and send and email from their laptop... It usually involves some level of obscurity. Im sure if they want to find out bad enough they will- but I would be surprised if this was sent by someone just sitting there.
- chollida1 3y ago> But Google will usually provide logs/IP addresses (not content) to police without a warrant, which can be used to start tracking down the culprit. Not in Canada. Google has been very clear they don't give anything to law enforcement without a warrant. Where are you getting your information from? Because its very scary if true.

- ijhuygft776 3y agoyou used to be able to create a protonmail account using Tor.... so I guess it might be easier
- protonmail 3y agoYou still can.
- nottorp 3y agoYou're not thinking big enough. Next email should come from the Indian government's email. Considering how tech aware they are, I'm sure there are hundreds of thousands of indian gov email acounts with passwords like 1234...
- davchana 3y agoWhat if it comes by postal mail i.e. India Post?
- alex_smart 3y agoWhat if it comes by a pigeon? Oh no!
- nottorp 3y agoErm. They are arresting pigeons already: https://apnews.com/article/india-chinese-spy-pigeon-f3543790447d4b43d347294e21874bf1 https://apnews.com/article/india-chinese-spy-pigeon-f3543790...
- tempodox 3y agoThis would make things interesting, since they'd have to ban governmental use of email then.
