Gov't Accidentally Publishes Target of Lavabit Probe: It's Snowden (arstechnica.com)

AmiMoJo writes: In the summer of 2013, secure e-mail service Lavabit was ordered by a federal judge to provide real-time e-mail monitoring of one of its users. Rather than comply with the order, Levison shut down his entire company. He said what the government was seeking would have endangered the privacy of all of his 410,000 users. Now, what was widely assumed has been confirmed. In documents posted to the federal PACER database this month, the government accidentally left his e-mail, 'Ed_snowden@lavabit.com,' unredacted for all to see.

Re:Ed_Snowden@lavabit? seriously?

Yeah, all of this could've been avoided if he just used Not_Ed_Snowden@lavabit.com

Re:Really?

Does any one really believe that Edward Snowdens email address is 'Ed_snowden@lavabit.com' ?

No. He would either have capitalized both the E and the S.or neither.
