ProtonMail provides information used to identify email owner...
Awesome…

Proton was legally ordered by the Swiss justice department to hand over the (severely limited) information about a law breaking organization. They had paid for Proton using a credit card instead of the anonymous payment methods Proton offers, and that is what Proton was forced to hand over. It was the organization’s bad OpSec, not Proton willingly deanonymizing users.

Really, this headline should be “Organization so poorly organized that they messed up having high-security email.”

Not at all. Proton doesn’t require any personal info at all. But if you pay with a credit card… That has your personal info tied to it. It’s their fuck up paying with a credit card. Proton accepts other payment methods that aren’t tied to your identity. Proton is required by law to provide information they have when the courts say so.

So I’m not a criminal organization as far as I know, but if I did pay with a credit card originally can that be rectified without deleting and starting over?
