Protonmail comp’d? Sauce? I cannot find anything that shows emails decrypted or stolen. Just user access denial for a short period of time.

Detailed in the linked text above, copied here. Extremely short story: They claim to be Swiss, but the Swiss business registry shows them owned by a Lithuanian company, and Lithuania law requires 6 months of records necessarily be kept. Furthermore, they are cohoused with a datamining service; the CEO claims that it is just coincidence, but their android app certs are signed by the datamining service itself; turns out both companies share a CEO.

Sources are Swiss business registry, Lithuanian Business registry, droid APK, and the CEO's responses on the hackernews forum, so you can verify yourself.

Wow! Thank you for taking the time to further explain about Protonmail. I took a lot of time to set it all up and feel like I've been scammed.
