🚨 Update on DDoS attacks 🚨

Earlier this month, Tuta suffered multiple DDoS attacks. But we will not let anyone stop you from using secure & private emails. We’ve strengthened our defenses & are now more resilient than ever. 💪

Thank you for your patience & trust as we continue this fight for privacy together. ❤️

Explanation on recent DDoS attacks & why we do not use third-parties for mitigation. | Tuta

Protecting against DDoS attacks is an integral part of our engineering practices and we architect and design our systems in a way that we minimize attack surfaces.

This is so awesome! I feared to read about cloudflare&Co but it's exactly the opposite 💞
@dexternemrod No, we wouldn't give up your privacy - that's not an option.
@Tutanota hey Im a new happy user, thanks for the updates!

@Tutanota Thanks for the update! It's an interesting tradeoff to potentially let a third party decrypt the incoming traffic to get less to maintain yourselves, but of course much better to build your own solution and keep full control. Especially for a critical service.

It would be interesting to learn about first-party #DDoS mitigation techniques that could be used in other projects where #E2EE is essential. However, I suspect the implementation details used for Tuta can't be shared publicly.

@Greenheart No, unfortunately, we can't share details...
