Protonmail email was shut down under investigation?

After reading your post title, I thought that Protonmail service is shutdown & under investigation.
Same
Obviously yes.
"All messages in your ProtonMail mailbox are stored with zero-access encryption. This means we cannot read any of your messages or hand them over to third parties."

Idk, I have always trusted this and I don't think protonmail can read your messages. Don't think they would lie about their main selling point.
 
Will have to digg a bit deeper because i heard rumors its run by an agency
 
Oatmeal, did you ever figure out why your account was dinged with that message?
 
So I know a lot of people on here use protonmail because it's very easy to create accounts there and many of them.
I myself have a hundred or so just to use for signing up at places that ask for email verification etc.

One of my protonmail emails however was shut down. I don't know when. I hadn't logged into it for probably 1-2 years.
I got a message when I tried to login and I couldn't get a screenshot of it as it disappears after 2 seconds but I read something
like, "the account is under investigation from Swiss law .... blah blah blah".

It seems like wherever I used that protonmail got reported by people and protonmail took it upon themselves to shut it down

Now I don't know if this message is common or if they are seriously doing some kind of investigation on my email account.
Just wondering if anyone else has ever had this happen to your protonmail email too?
Oatmeal, did you ever find anything more out?
Would you pm me?
 
They claim to be the most secure and safe email out there, maybe share a screenshot of what went wrong so people can understand what's really wrong with it.
They are a swiss company therefore they still must obey swiss law, being secure is another thing

I also thought so. No! not protonmail !!

Just use it as a disposable email or as a secondary email. Though protonmail is getting banned left and right.

As long as you use proxy under protonmail/vpn, you're fine. Protonmail doesn't track you cross-websites, so just them revealing your IP is no big deal.
 
Hi it happen to me few day ago too. so can you tell me how did it end ?
 
No i had just this one for years
Define "using it"
When was the last time you log on it?
or do you just send things to it?

If you logged on just last week, then contact their support.
 
I was using it as normal email i was logged last week i guess. I was contact them today. No response yet
 
So better, a lot of chargeback scammers were using it everywhere.
 
This is a big big red flag.

You would think that any company wouldn't look at private info,
but unfortunately unless there no info on drives / storsge can not be seen but email server can be seen as it holds info, if asked for from affical like police investergaton can bee seen.

Trust me I no of a case that everthink was looked at and yes it all backed up but if official want it they get it 100%

Pia was the only people in court didn't collet info but there diffrent service a Vpn,,

email server do keep info on there servers.

Sometimes used with threat as evidence at court

I promise authties can get access

Any server that has to use content will backup info and if asked to be seen from affical they have to by law show.....

The protection is for hacker proof not affical police work.

Fingerprints of everthink get logged all bullshit, there no real hiding Anythink.... (FACT))

If you think that any Company going to go aginst police, fbi, fraud investigators your mad.....

They just turn up take the servers away full stop.

Level 3 server cabinets are stripped daily from allegations

They take a backup of investergaton hard drives and servers and then arrest owner and workers in the server cabinets, then do full investorgation.

There is nothink stopping them doing this it law, they look at data and if Anythink found they contact owner of account and arrest them.
(( FACT)) authorities don't care about rights and acts they worry about that Afther the arrest.
That the real way it goes.

Even the person router will be taken and any computer or electrical goods that use WiFi or Internet.

Investorgation is done via getting the info and then arrest the person and then strip there home and freeze there bank accounts thrn it all starts from there.

Even a business that setup servers are warned even with there Contract to keep all servers clean And not fraudent as it not accepted as a internst business.

So the protection is all crap talk.

The protection from You and a barester in court shitting your self (( FACT))
