An investigation with Constella Intelligence searched the dark web for 2,280 official government email addresses from the British Parliament, European Parliament, and French Parliament.
It found that around 40% had been exposed, along with passwords, birthdates, and more.
Keep in mind, this is not a news story about a data breach or leak, This was a study, to see to what extent various countries politicians have been exposed.
It's only a dumb rumor, but if this goes down we might as well turn off the lights on #gaming as we know it. Especially all the #Linux and #Proton goodness that #Valve has pushed forward.
Every year this gets called into question, yet rarely is the full story ever told. In this video, Josh explains what's really happening with these privacy and security apps as well as how it affects YOU directly.
I took the annual @protonprivacy annual survey today and they got generally glowing reviews from me. I have no hesitation about my upcoming annual renewal. That said, I am a bit concerned by the couple of questions regarding AI "features". I don't need a writing assistant, I really do not. I want to be able to access my Proton Drive on Linux and full Standard Notes integration.
Je suis vraiment à ça 🤏 d'installer un dual boot Linux sur mon PC principal (gaming) parce que ça fait beaucoup trop longtemps que j'ai pas utilisé un Linux Desktop (WSL pour dev et Linux server sur les serveurs que j'administre)
J'ai entendu dire que le gaming fonctionnait vachement mieux depuis quelques années grâce à Proton et autres. Je suis curieux.
Après j'ai tout qui fonctionne très bien sur mon Windows, donc j'ai peur de juste me remettre une contrainte en plus alors que tout va bien.
"Earlier this year, the Spanish police Guardia Civil sent legal requests through Swiss police to #Wire and #Proton, which are both based in Switzerland. (..)
Wire responded providing the email address used to register the Wire account, which was a Protonmail address.
@protonprivacy responded providing the recovery email for that Protonmail account, which was an iCloud email address, according to the documents."
So my plan with my current #VPN provider expires soon and I’m thinking of moving to #Proton. I like the idea of getting, as part of the plan, extras such as Proton mail - get some control and #privacy over my email accounts (away from Gmail). However, I am a little worried that if I create multiple email addresses I essentially lock myself into Proton’s paid plan… Losing email addresses would be an unnecessary nightmare to manage 🤔
Has anyone else switched to Proton to manage their VPN & emails?
Die Datenbank von @holarse weist, mit dem Eintrag "created 2009-05-12", darauf hin, dass mein Konto dort nun bereits seit 15 Jahren besteht.
15 Jahre voller ./config; make; make install, dumme Fragen unter Artikeln oder im IRC stellen, Spieleabenden und, natürlich, dem Türöffner "#Steam für #Linux" der mit #Proton zuletzt #Linuxgaming so unendlich einfach hat werden lassen.
Eine tolle Reise bisher, die, hoffentlich, noch lange nicht zu Ende ist.
#EU#Spain#Catalonia#Cybersecurity#Privacy#Encryption#Wire#Proton: "As part of an investigation into people involved in the pro-independence movement in Catalonia, the Spanish police obtained information from the encrypted services Wire and Proton, which helped the authorities identify a pseudonymous activist, according to court documents obtained by TechCrunch.
Earlier this year, the Spanish police Guardia Civil sent legal requests through Swiss police to Wire and Proton, which are both based in Switzerland. The Guardia Civil requested any identifying information related to accounts on the two companies’ respective platforms. Wire responded providing the email address used to register the Wire account, which was a Protonmail address. Proton responded providing the recovery email for that Protonmail account, which was an iCloud email address, according to the documents.
In the request, which listed “organised crime” and “terrorism” as the nature of the investigation, Spanish police wrote that it wanted to “find out who were the perpetrators of the facts taking place in the street riots in Catalonia in 2019.”"
Is ProtonVPN & Mullvad affected by this attack? I use both of these services on daily basis. If they affected how can I mitigate this? #tech#privacy#linux#proton#mullvad
I'm in the process of migrating from Google Workspace to Proton Mail, but I've hit a snag that might make me stick to Google. I have several email addresses for business, and yet Proton puts all emails in one inbox, which doesn't make any sense. So I'll get emails related to my writing in the same inbox as those for film, as personal emails, and as those for other work? I expected separate logins for each email.
