Which secure email provider is the best?

[Ironlifter]

There are getting to be so many its hard to keep track. I figured I'd just post this for so I can know for sure.

I doubt anyone REALLY knows which is most secure. People will probably vote for the one they use and then state their opinion. Unless you have hacked these, lets not start spreading some urban legends about a bro who only used hushmail from x site and got busted and he knows another guy who said the government had copies of all the mail he sent, etc.

I like cyber-rights.
And I don't really care for my ziplip account...

i would like to know too, elite mail seems too shady as of late

I usually use cyber-rights, but I have continued to check my elitemail and have had no problems. I think that most of this negative feedback came from the 'big scare' a while back. Use a unique passphrase and your fine.

i check the email every day, read the good adds & delete them & leave the junk mail for the hacks.
if the hackers look in all thay get adds for a penis patch

None. your own encryption system would be best..

I did some checks on hushmail to see if it had changed. When you use the version that encrypts your mail on your machine there is a program that is loaded to do this encrypting. When gear grinder came down I went in my cache and pulled out an old version. I ran an md5sum on this version. I then pulled the one that loads currently. I ran an md5sum on the new one. This will tell me if there has been any change that would allow someone to see your email, assuming the oldest one did not allow anybody to snoop. Both md5sums were the same. This shows that there has been no tampering with the code that does the encryption.

I did this because there was rumor that hushmail had changed it's code to allow IE to see your mail. It turns out that this rumor is untrue.

well its a well know issue that hushmail is compromised as they will let LE into accounts. Also safe-mail is not good b.c in the ToS, it says that it may help government and some rumors spread tht LE have a universal pass... Can someone tell me a free encyrpted email. i mean nothing is fully secure but i dont want the so called secure email LETTING people into my account!

bumppp

 

[Heath1282]

i use hush. always heard you need to match up with whoever you send to right?

Any one is traceable and if it's on your computer, it can be confiscated and the info will be found. If they're going to go that far, it means you're fucked anyway. But it's incredibly unlikely that it would get to that point for a tiny personal purchase.

Once again, Nelson is the voice of reason.

thanks Nelson but which one would you recommend

 

[advanced-stealth]

Pgp.

 

[KeepinMyGains]

Nelson pretty much summed up this one but for a additional note your better of using a e-mail service that is un-likely to help the US

Example Russia

It's NO rumour -- it's true, and there is documentation to back it up.

No less than three times has it been documented that government and/or law
enforcement compelled Hushmail to give up information on its users:

* The Drug Enforcement Administration's "Operation Raw Deal" where Hushmail
was forced to give up 12 CDs full of decrypted email on their users.
According to media reports, a DEA spokesman actually boasted that the DEA
had collected "hundreds of thousands" of email messages on an unspecified
number of suspects.

See: www <dot> parrhesia <dot> com/stumbo_complaint <dot> pdf

* The U.S. Secret Service managed to nab Max Butler a.k.a. Iceman, for credit card fraud. Butler, who by day was a $110/hour security consultant, moonlighted as "Iceman". One of Iceman's email accounts was: digits @ hushmail <dot> com

See: www <dot> wired <dot> co <dot> uk/magazine/archive/2011/03/features/the-card-master?page=all

* Thomas Andrews Drake, an NSA whistleblower, was charged with leaking documents to a Boston Globe reporter. Both the reporter and Drake were using Hushmail accounts. Once again, the U.S. government invoked MLAT to get the decrypted emails between these two parties.
