Proton Mail

[Chesterton]

Some time back I made an email account with Proton Mail. I liked the security and anonymity it (claims to) provide. Now I'm getting ready to start selling some records at Discogs.

I recently read some articles that Proton is known to often be used by criminals and people up to no good. I don't know how important that is. Would it be a bad idea to use a Proton account for selling and buying? Would you trust buying merch from someone using a Proton account?

If criminals were found to all drive Chevys does that make you think you have to drive a Ford?

Good security is where you find it. So some criminals also found it. There is no guilt by association. Use Proton with confidence. Earn a reputation as a reliable vendor and nobody will care that you use Proton. Criminals also use Bitcoin. But Bitcoin is secure (though volatile) and nobody should be afraid of it. Lots of criminals use Dollars too, and nobody says anything about that.

Can you post the article here for us to read?


I've never heard that criminals use it. But it's possible. My experience has been they use Gmail or they try to make their email address look like it's from a legitimate source (like Microsoft or a bank).

I have Proton myself and I love it. I have one of the paid versions and I have multiple email addresses just for one account. I know on one of the paid subscriptions, you can do a custom email domain if you want to. You can look into that.

I use Proton myself too. For everything...mail, drive, vpn. It is one of the best subscriptions I use presently.

I read several articles some months ago, I don't remember exactly what they were, but it was stuff similar to this:

Is Proton Mail Sheltering Cyber Criminals? High Court Pushes for Nationwide Ban - The420.in

The case, triggered by a series of online scams and untraceable threats traced back to Proton Mail IDs, has reignited the global debate on privacy versus public safety.
