For example, Amazon puts the name of the ordered item in the subject line, so they can still see what you ordered.Īnd I'm putting "E2E" in quotes because if the sender does not send encrypted emails, then they can read the full content at delivery time, obviously. These fields contain most of the information already. Their encryption is based on PGP and therefore only message contents are "E2E" encrypted. > Do you have evidence that Proton does not actually encrypt their emails? That would make their product more valuable for all the legitimate users. Protonmail can do some vetting of their customers, so that their emails become more trustworthy, if they feel like it. I get that and I feel bad about what I did at the time.īut, having been where the UK government is, I totally get where they're coming from. I just wanted to share the thought process of someone in the trenches not make a value judgement of your email provider! You as an individual user of some service can't be held accountable for the actions of the other users of that service.
I didn't do it the first time, and that's on me. I'll definitely be thinking about fraud/risk from day 1 the next time I do a cloud service, so that innocent users of email domains abused by fraudsters are not unfairly discriminated against. But hey, we ended up deciding not to do the cloud offering (in part because of this), so maybe I fucked up that decision. Free trials continued for the vast majority of the world. I basically had the choice to to block protonmail from using the free trial, eliminate free trials, or require everyone in the Universe to type in a credit card, pay their bill and not dispute the charges for 90 days. You get overrun and then you make a rash decision. I see that my post got massively downvoted, but this is the thought process for people administering things.
I'm not saying this is wonderful or anything, but it is what I had to do at the time. Like I said, I was paged in the middle of the night because protonmail accounts were being created at a rate of hundreds per second to use our hosted free trial to mine crypto.
(Use the 19,9999 hours you saved to listen to enjoyable music or hang out with friends! It's fun!) That is absolutely the best way to stick it to me for sharing my thought process on HN. If you want to spend 20,000 hours rewriting our 100% open-source product from scratch because we used to have a hosted offering that was overrun by fraud and I made a rash decision in the middle of the night, feel free! Recommend just downloading the source from Github though and using our work for free.
