New York, NY | Yea. I guess they could. Sometimes the best attack vector is the rubber hose attack  Don't need huge computer farms or million dollar clusters when you got the good old inquisition style "code breaking" tools, invented way before computers ... |

Re: top 5 safest and most secure email providers ? Hushmail is rubbish, they lied and said not even the employees have access to the encrypted user files and emails. But the very second the NSA tossed them a letter, Hushmail folded up like a house of cards and spilled their information to the spooks.

For private and secure email, you generally want a few conditions to be met. (and I require them all for any service I use)
1) They use SSL/TLS encryption.
2) They encrypt your database on their servers, and it wipes when you download/delete all of your mail.
3) They scrub headers, so basically all your 'stuff' is removed from the headers before the email ships off.
4) Strong privacy policy, that basically says they can't share anything because they can't read anything!
I do recommend offshore email hosting providers for obvious reasons. Unfortunately, not a whole lot of companies meet all of the above criteria. You can find some obscure, high quality ones if you search using a lot of different search terms.
Some good ones...

»neomailbox.com/services/secure-email
»keptprivate.com/
Do some searches, plenty more out there. Again, I recommend 'Offshore' hosting/email services. There are small Indonesian Islands loaded with incredible servers that do this as well. If the spooks send them a letter, they tell them to kiss off. Just the way it should be. |

kudos:4 | Those are all expensive! Plus, one is webmail only. I hate webmail. I just basically no longer use email for anything except receiving newsletters, Microsoft Bulletins, etc.

said by PrivacyExprt:For private and secure email, you generally want a few conditions to be met. (and I require them all for any service I use) I wouldn't trust any third party to do my encrypting for me, even if they're offshore. Do it yourself. It's not difficult and is much more secure.

The top ? Best of the best ? let me think .... well ... NONE.
Want privacy ? Build your own system. Read, learn .... If you can't build it yourself, then, you are out of luck. |

| There is only one secure email....that is not sending any email.
After all, no matter how secure the path, transmission and storage may be, there's someone somewhere who can open the content and view it.
So whilst you shore-up your side of things, your recipient may not do so. Print, print to PDF, copy/paste, etc
If it's secure and needs to be transmitted, you need something like an eDiscovery portal - but then you're vulnerable because the reader can read, remember, photograph, etc.....
TNO and your problems are solved. |
