This isn't really a hack much. They left this door open and unaudited intentionally. Proton mail has always been a profitable honey pot. They indirectly broker access to your data to the usual actors.
That was ack by the company in fact. Look it up on their site.
Also our own Super Goat @alele-opathic and others have tried warning everyone of the perils of bandwagoning in general, using PotMail as a perfect example of astroturfing success. Critical analysis is hard, but _this is important. _
Used to do that with Gmail. Problem is searchability, OTR, infinite topology logs, adversarial service assets etc.
It's one way. Just another fish in the sea, albeit the flagged PGP sea.
I do both. Sometimes impossible to block Google on networks. Sometimes administration involves just blocking things like Hotmail etc., but Tuta is unknown to corporate blacklists. There's always a way.

Tutanota, is probably the best of the free services. Everything else requires paying.

Given that qualifier you're probably right. Otherwise Kolab is great too.

I stopped bothering years ago and just use Hotmail/Outlook. I encrypt sensitive email myself using an OpenPGP program before it leaves my system.
