I just came across these "disturbing facts about proton mail". Let's say, hypothetically, that I administer a small org that now wants to move away from proton.
I guess I should just learn pgp, but that would be a tough sell for any boomer members.
EDIT: thanks for all the responses! It seems like my intuition was correct: email is inherently insecure, and proton is no worse than other email providers insofaras you don't let their marketing cause you to drop your guard. If it's illegal, keep it offline.
In my job I have to assist someone from an academic "digital security" organization from time to time, an org filled with professors who should absolutely be technically savvy since their entire careers are focused on technical security issues. They are just as useless in practical reality as yokels running a dealership who have no exposure to technical issues.
The deal is that the second they stop having to actually do research themselves, they immediately start to become incompetent as the technologies they know phase out. I've interacted closely with professors that genuinely couldn't do their own research if their students quit.
