Unfortunately, one of the best (maybe only) secure mail service closed their doors.
Ladar Levison, the Owner and Operator of Lavabit was put under pressure by US Government to disclose users data. He decided against it and closes his service. He deserves our greatest respect although the end of lavabit is sad.
You can still read his clear statement on his website at lavabit.com.
He leaves no doubt about the security of data residing on US servers and networks.
This experience has taught me one very important lesson: without congressional action or a strong judicial precedent, I would _strongly_ recommend against anyone trusting their private data to a company with physical ties to the United States, Ladar said.
So, don’t trust the evil, like I used to say.
Stay tuned,
Marcus
