Plus: Google patches another Chrome security hole, and more
Encrypted email service Proton Mail is in hot water again from some quarters, and for the same thing that earned it flack before: Handing user data over to law enforcement.
Be as that may, there is still user info Proton has access to and can be pressured to divulge. In 2021, the Switzerland-based vendor provided Swiss police with the IP address and device details of a netizen the cops were trying to identify. That individual – a French climate activist – was later arrested after Proton shared the same data with French police.
" blocked access to the impacted bulk data set, removed files, implemented a patch to fix the exposure, tested our solution, and re-enabled access," the agency explained of its recovery measures.
