Beware of Hushmail

[alpoe]

Hypothetical of course but here is a situation:

Create a Hushmail account to place an order with a trusted source/sponsor. Got the email confirmation and then when I log in today to confirm something get the following message:

Sorry, this account has been disabled

Your account has been disabled, either at your request or for violating our terms of service.

None of my personal information was in there and no transaction has taken place yet so no worries but figured I'd share with everyone.

Again, only one email was sent out from this account so Hushmail is filtering emails and checking up on what you are emailing about.

Apparently something is going on. hushmail and cyber-rights have both had a ton of accounts shut down in recent days. Most of them are not really secure anyway unless you and your source are both actually encrypting your emails. If you read their terms of service they all cooperate with court subpoenas. there have been posts about hushmail and this for years which makes me wonder why people still use them

Yeah I saw that.

And no email is safe...I'm sure the majority of people realize this.

Just a routine so that is only reason why they were still being used.

do that and get yourself an anonymous email service that strips your ip info from the headers..

They deleted my account the other day, too. I haven't used it in years, except to log in to keep it active.
