Before you start sharing clickbait headlines like "Proton is compromised", "privacy is dead", etc, just read the whole fucking news article first.

Proton always said they would provide whatever they have (metadata) to Law Enforcement if subpoenaed. That was never a secret or in question. They are an actual registered company...

They still don't nhave access to email body content. E2E encryption still works. What they can provide is IP addresses, recovery email, recovery phone, browser fingerprints and email metadata (timestamp, recipient, sender, subject, size).

If you are worried about this (you should), use a VPN (not proton VPN) or Tor, avoid disclosing sensitive information in the email subject.

Despite the FUD, people are still 99% safer and more private using ProtonMail relative to Gmail or similar.
