Every second person already distrusts companies in using their personal data correctly. Interviews done by Boston Consulting in Europe and in the USA show that this figure could grow immensely as more and more data breaches become public.
In Germany journalists uncovered that the browser add-on Web of Trust (WOT) saves users' surf history to sell this data.
While the company claims that the data being sold is anonymized, the journalists were able to identify several users,
among those journalists, judges, policemen and politicians of the German government.
Automatic encryption is one thing that is at the heart of Tutanota, but your secure email can do much more. In the last
two years we have implemented several features that most users don't know about. Read on and find out what your
encrypted mailbox can do for you!
It is still unbelievable to us that Yahoo gave access to all their email accounts to US authorities. This recent
publication of years and years of online surveillance shows again how easy it is to monitor everybody - when the
data is not being encrypted. This is why Tutanota encrypts all mailboxes by default.
Our new release contains a couple of bug fixes as well as the possibility to take over you Tutanota email from your deleted account and re-use it in your Premium account. Just enter your Premium account email address when deleting your old account.
Last Sunday Swiss people voted in favour of a surveillance law which will enable Swiss intelligence agencies
to tap phones and snoop on email. 65,5% of the Swiss voted in favour of it. This is the first direct vote in favour of
more surveillance in Europe. Does that mean the majority of us wants to be monitored?
Today we are very happy to present an updated version of Tutanota that brings lots of improvements: As many of you requested,
you can now get additional storage and additional aliases. If you are using Tutanota with your custom domain,
you can now use catch-all.
Last week we were notified by Kevin Froman that your secure mailbox was not safe from the "Target Blank" vulnerability. We fixed
this severe vulnerability immediately so that it cannot be exploited.
This week we are celebrating our first Premium release one year ago. The low price for Premium of only 1 Euro per month
immediately led to thousands of users upgrading, simply because they wanted to support our privacy-focused email
service.
