ProtonMail, Tutanota among authors of letter urging EU to reconsider encryption rules

Encrypted service providers are urging lawmakers to back away from a controversial plan that critics say would undercut effective data protection measures. ProtonMail, Threema, Tresorit and Tutanota — all European companies that offer some form of encrypted services — issued a joint statement this week declaring that a resolution the European Council adopted on Dec. 14 is ill-advised. That measure calls for “security through encryption and security despite encryption,” which technologists have interpreted as a threat to end-to-end encryption. In recent months governments around the world, including the U.S., U.K., Australia, New Zealand, Canada, India and Japan, have been reigniting conversations about law enforcement officials’ interest in bypassing encryption, as they have sporadically done for years. In a letter that will be sent to council members on Thursday, the authors write that the council’s stated goal of endorsing encryption, and the council’s argument that law enforcement authorities must rely on […]

Hackers target ‘hundreds’ of Middle East activists with fake login pages, 2FA bypass schemes

Hackers have been going after email accounts of hundreds of Middle East-based human rights activists, journalists and others using methods that bypass security features of services like Google, Yahoo, ProtonMail and Tutanota, according to a report published Wednesday by Amnesty International. The human rights watchdog says its likely that a single group of hackers has been using clever pages that mimic secure login pages, as well as tricks that bypass two-factor authentication (2FA) to target accounts at least throughout 2017 and 2018. The targets are mostly in the United Arab Emirates, Egypt, Yemen and Palestine, the group said. “What makes these campaigns especially troubling is the lengths to which they go to subvert the digital security strategies of their targets,” the group says in the report. Amnesty International analyzes the activity as two separate campaigns. One uses fake pages that look like they belong to ProtonMail and Tutanota in order to get […]
