Accounts with third-party service providers were used “for exfiltration or infrastructure,” according to a post by law enforcement on LockBit’s seized darkweb domain.
I’d like to know more about the specifics involved. I’ve migrated my whole suite over to Proton and just want to know the specifics here. Guess I won’t know until Proton decides to frame their answer in a blogpost.
You don’t need that: Proton will only surrender accounts/information to local authorities with the appropriate paperwork - and that’s their selling point on privacy, swiss law being pretty protective of privacy ; in this case, a corpus of evidence has been submitted by a recognized foreign entity & considered valid for action in regard to swiss law.
That’s what makes proton secure for journalists, political opponents and such: no swiss judge will enable any random dictator to get a dissident’s info, it won’t fly with swiss law. And if that escalates to bogus criminal charges, it is still up to a swiss judge to decide how and if to proceed.
You put your trust in Switzerland here, not in a nerdy business with an atom-smashing background.
