This of course means Protonmail can no longer be trusted, so for any email that needs to be secure use anonymous random numbered accounts and PGP/GPG used locally to encrypt and decrypt messages That's how SHAC (Stop Huntingdon's Animal Cruelty) used to do it and neither the US nor the UK was ever able to defeat their encrypted emails to my knowledge
Weak spot in this case was the account was a paid account, thus identifiable by payment info. This attack might have failed against a free account.
No paid online account should ever be considered secure unless MAYBE managed only w prepaid cards bought with cash from a variety of locations and not requiring personal info to activate.
At the Stop Cop City level the cards should be purchased by someone who does nothing else and ideallly pass through a "cutout," which is a courier again doing nothing else
Also cash (accepted by Proton it seems) should not come from an ATM due to risk of serial numbers being recorded or recoverable. I read somewhere that some ATMs are dispensing sequentially serial numbered bills.
#Proton is in the news again - and it's for the same reason. At what point do we just have to say that a private mail server running on a VPS is the only path forward?
Or, and hear me out on this one: make a new #email protocol that's compatible with IMAP/POP3/SMTP that fixes some of their problems and takes power over data away from hosts and solely into the hand of the user.
