Accounts with third-party service providers were used “for exfiltration or infrastructure,” according to a post by law enforcement on LockBit’s seized darkweb domain.

Everyone should ask themselves what is their actual threat model. That will tell you whether not this news truly affects you. Any criminal worth their salt probably wouldn’t roll with Proton or Tuta if they practice good OpSec

What’s wrong with both Tuta and Proton? I’m by no means involved in any crime or anything, but I degooglefied and moved to Tuta for mail. Was considering self hosting, but I’ve been procrastinating it.
