Network Associates Gives Up Search for PGP Buyer

Posted by michael on from the bargain-bin dept.

The company has laid off 18 workers, and plans to continue to maintain the product for one year. It's a good thing that there are still products like GnuPG and others out there for people who need cheap, reliable encryption."
