Hey guys, After the New York Times video suggesting a few questionable services to encrypt email (see here: http://www.nytimes.com/video/technology/personaltech/100000003002385/easily-encrypt-your-email.html?smid=tw-nytimes) I was wondering if it's time to make a list of not-so-good snakeoil encryption services that have popped up after the Snowden revelations.
As a reporter, I have received pitches for around a dozen different products, but wanted to ask you if you've seen any, and why you think they might not be good. Here's a short list to get you started (I'm not saying all these are terrible, we should look into them and figure out why they might or might not be good): -Virtru (https://www.virtru.com/) -Shazzlemail (http://shazzlemail.com/) -Protonmail (https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/protonmail) -InfoEncrypt (https://www.infoencrypt.com/) Cheers, lfb -- *Lorenzo Franceschi-Bicchierai*Mashable <http://www.mashable.com> US & World Reporter lore...@mashable.com | lorenzo...@gmail.com Twitter: @lorenzoFB <http://www.twitter.com/lorenzoFB> OTR: lorenz...@jabber.ccc.de www.lorenzofb.com
