Email security

Just a friendly reminder to the community that we are less than 5 weeks away from a new law that could cause issues.

Email is NOT sacred, and although the linked article does NOT name the email provider, the clues of encrypted and Swiss-based narrows it down to one...

Let's PLEASE try to not involve CK in this...the point is NOT the underlying politics; rather, the accused clearly thought his emails were safe, and they were not, and now he faces 10 years in a "fuck you in the ass" federal penitentary. The article does NOT indicate which version of the email they managed to get (this particular provider has a .com domain as well as another which is SUPPOSED to be more safe)...do NOT assume your emails are not being read!

Call me paranoid, but just because I'm paranoid doesn't mean everyone isn't out to get me...

Stay safe!

Hi,

Email is sacred when both parties are using encrypted
Swiss-based email provider such as Protonmail.

From this story, only one party, Connally, the wank who sent all
these threats to Fauci, was using an encryption email service,
so of course the emails were not sacred when the other
party, Fauci, is not using encryption.

Let's PLEASE try to not involve CK in this...the point is NOT the underlying politics; rather, the accused clearly thought his emails were safe, and they were not, and now he faces 10 years in a "fuck you in the ass" federal penitentary.

Let’s PLEASE research vague stories more deeply because folks will realize
that Connally is a damn idiot who deserves to be locked up.
He didn’t only use Protonmail.

Investigators were able to get emails from Connally’s Mail.com
account handed right over to them, and the emails from that
Mail.com account laid out a lot of evidence of Connally’s
multiple Protonmail accounts since he communicated
with himself between these accounts.

He even emailed himself all the usernames and passwords
of every email account he had to his Mail.com from
his Protonmail account…

The article does NOT indicate which version of the email they managed to get (this particular provider has a .com domain as well as another which is SUPPOSED to be more safe)...do NOT assume your emails are not being read

Protonmail is more safe.

Protonmail can’t encrypt communication outside its network nor can
it control messy users who use multiple email accounts from
unencrypted email providers, so…

Investigators were able to read what was in the bodies of these
‘encrypted’ emails since Connally, emailed Fauci, who doesn’t
use Protonmail nor any other form of encryption. So, the
emails were open and unencrypted on Fauci’s end.

Call me paranoid, but just because I'm paranoid doesn't mean everyone isn't out to get me...

Fear factor is high when fact factor is low.

Phoenixx has it exactly right (sexxy as hell & Brainiac... gotta love it!).

In general, I'd say that assuming privacy in /on ANY electronic medium is a little naive. For example, any software developed in the States, that can potentially be exported, and incorporates any form of encryption , has to be registered with the Feds.

Am I worried about someone listening in on my texts/emails/calls with providers... not really. Even if tracking/decrypting/following up is entirely automated (which is probably the case by now)... there's just too much stuff going on out there for my attempts to compensate for my shortcomings with willing ladies to attract the type of attention that will result in a legal action.

It IS a little more disturbing that everyone is having profiles built up over time, stitched together by AI-driven mechanisms that crawl social media, hang around on the "edge" of mail domains, etc.

Just my $0.02...

Oh, BTW - Ms. Phoenixx... ever travel Houston-wards?

Phoenixx,

You make too many unbased assumptions and conclusions based on your own speculation, but I appreciate the input.

My post was meant as an alert/reminder that our communications are not as safe as we like to believe, and not as any sort of treatise on email security.

Encryption is not sacred...nothing is. All it takes is access to the key, and that can occur without access to either of the emails involved. The Rosetta Stone is an ancient example of this truism...Enigma is another classic example.

Being based in Switzerland does not guarantee sanctity of info...just ask the Swiss banks who all caved into pressure regarding Nazi loot in the 1995-2005 time frame. Furthermore, Protonmail offers email with a .com address (among others). I am no expert on the web, but my understanding is the .com extension is controlled by the USA. By extension, then, it is more easily accessible to US-based LE, and protonmail.com to protonmail.com emails are at risk of interception/decryption due to jurisdictional oversight.

I completely agree the guy was an idiot who made it easy. The risk is in assuming only idiots get caught.

This is one area where I do not mind being viewed as paranoid; aside from idiots it is those with a false sense of security who are at the greatest risk.

Thanks Phoenixx, good info and RWG is certainly right you are sexy and smart! Touring Houston soon? LOL

Yeah I don't care what you use, if the US government REALLY wants to figure out who you are, they will.

Thankfully, I'm just seeing escorts and not threatening high level government officials. I feel pretty safe.
