quick question, if I registered for free with no identifier, and I get an email that has my info, like I order something, is that account “compromised”? Can they now link all other emails to me?
The mail is encrypted, so probably not, but they have an extensive privacy policy and some blog entries, against which threats they can protect you, which they can’t
Not on Proton’s side, but whoever sent you that email obviously has both your info and your Proton address so they know it’s connected to you, even if Proton doesn’t.
Haha somehow I never realised this. Not much point to it than huh? Still, proton supports aliases, so I can give a “compromised” alias to someone like my bank, and still have untraceable aliases to the same inbox? Or does proton have to provide alias related information when asked?
