A jury has found the former head of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police intelligence unit guilty of leaking state secrets, the first time a Canadian has been convicted under the country’s Security of Information Act.

[RCMP is not an "intelligence" agency. Misnomer by the Guardian].

The description of Tutanota as an "online encryption service" is kind of weird, it's an encrypted email service. I guess that's splitting hairs though.

I use Tutanota myself but I'm in the process of moving off it, not because of security concerns but because the developers are aggressively full-on about security to the point where certain features (search, & interoperability with other clients primarily) are actually hamstrung. So the claim about them being part of some government intelligence apparatus seems somewhat unbelievable to me. But hey, if it's true then I'm extra glad I'm moving off it.

I'm doubtful of it too, but stuff like this is hard to dispel, whether true or not

[-] gwildors_gill_slits@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah, agreed. Although to me it all comes across like shoddy reporting of a dubious source, this is a pretty big blow to Tutanota's rep whether it's true or not. It's hard to wash off the stink of something like this after it's been disseminated to the public.
