It's an old story, but the basic theme probably needs recounting on a regular basis. Their downfall wasn't just from using Hushmail - they also accepted PayPal and Western Union which was pretty fucking stupid. Similar services have been busted for similar mistakes.

All I can say is that this is Bitcoin. I don't believe it until I see six confirmations.

It's a very old story: www.privatliv.com/hushmail_report.pdfThe moral of the story is, encryption won't help you if your private keys are controlled by somebody else, especially if that somebody openly admits that they'll compromise your private keys if they receive a court order to do so.  |
Will pretend to do unspeakable things (while actually eating a taco) for bitcoins: 1K6d1EviQKX3SVKjPYmJGyWBb1avbmCFM4I am not on the scammers' paradise known as Telegram! Do not believe anyone claiming to be me off-forum without a signed message from the above address! Accept no excuses and make no exceptions! |

Then why does hushmail even exist? What is the point of these people cheating others into believing they are doing them a favor? Are they gathering info to blackmail their users?? |

http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2007/11/encrypted-e-mai/I think people need to keep in mind the difference between privacy and secrecy, too. Promises of privacy normally end when a warrant or subpoena appears.

The purpose is the protect email in transit: since email is a plaintext protocol, all unencrypted emails can be read by any server they pass through as they are routed to their destination. All those companies and governments have full access to all your email (whether it's legal for them to make use of it is another matter entirely). At least with Hushmail they need a court order to read it. Note that Hushmail isn't cheating anyone: they explicitly state that they won't protect you from this threat. |

Good lord. Learn to use PGP even if it's difficult for you. You never know who's in between the walls.
Lol. Hello forum. |

Lol. Hello forum. I am not good with computer. I just re discovered this forum thanks to my PC dying. It requires a certain amount of trust, but there's always this site. Of course, it's kind of a stupid thing to do to trust your data to a third party. |

Oh no don't get me wrong, I can use PGP encryption just fine.
