You could say that about a lot of cloud based products... Think of the information in gmail or salesforce.com. The value those tools provide and the flexibility vs the risk of them improperly using your data and the cost of running them yourself (likely running them improperly too.). That's the cloud.
What is more interesting is what the EULA said about this sort of thing and if they hand data over without notification to the owner. I suspect that they did.
- eli 14y agoNo, it's different. Hushmail is specifically a security product so it's a much bigger deal that it is inherently less secure than the alternatives.
- Nelson69 14y agoWhat alternatives? How is it any less secure than another mail host?
- Spooky23 14y agoThe whole point of Hushmail is that you can use PGP/GPG style mail encryption via a webmail interface. You could also do this anonymously. They claimed that it was secure because the PGP stuff was done via a Java applet. It turns out that If you have a use case for using content signing and encryption, using a closed-source Java or other web applet is a pretty weird way to address it.
