Is Hushmail Still Safe?

Posted by Soulskill on from the possibly-good-protection dept.

Ringo Kamens writes to ask if the use of Hushmail can still be considered a secure method of communication: "For a long time, Hushmail was considered a very secure email provider until an affidavit (PDF) from a DEA agent in 2007 showed that they had handed over 12 CDs of possibly decrypted data to law enforcement. Now, Cryptome has posted that the Hushmail encryption program is no longer the same program for which Hushmail releases their source. Is Hushmail even safe to use anymore?"

    And what does a total weakling prove? That even those who aren't hardasses can walk all over him? I've known a few when I was in high school. Their girlfriends slept with everyone but them. They were the "nice guys". I even tried being one for awhile. Very depressing existence. I think those who enjoy it, deserve it... and all that comes with it.
