PROTON MAIL TAKES ACTION: JOURNALIST ACCOUNTS SUSPENDED FOLLOWING CYBERSECURITY AGENCY REQUEST

Summary from the TLDR InfoSec newsletter

Proton Mail suspended two journalists' accounts after they published research documenting an intrusion into several South Korean government institutions in Phrack. It contacted the researchers via the disclosure account a week after the print release, notifying them that their account was being suspended, citing a policy violation due to a government cybersecurity organization. The company reversed its decision and restored the accounts following a public outcry over privacy.
