  • Protons history

    They are less bad than other providers, but there is still enough to criticize. For example, the fact that their claims always pretend otherwise or when you ask support about it, it is directly and vehemently denied.

    I don’t want to call for a boycott. After all, I use Proton myself and am satisfied, but

    Is Proton Mail still secure and private?

    The answer to this question all boils down to determining your threat model and the adversaries you are trying to protect yourself against.

    In short, the answer is yes if you are looking for a secure, encrypted email service that does not have access to the contents of your inbox. After all, ProtonMail is far better than Gmail or Yahoo when it comes to privacy.

    If you are doing things to attract the attention of law enforcement, then the data you provide when you use ProtonMail, such as IP address and recovery email, may be shared with authorities if Proton Technologies is legally compelled to do so in Swiss court.
