which 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.
