How secure is @elitefitness.com e-mail?? PLease read.

I know I am connecting to Hush, I know the MX record points to Hush, and I know that I no applet loads prior to me connection to Hush.

I was just going after the most paranoid scenario I could think of. That involves George learning Java, modifying Hush's applet to send our PW's or decrypted mail (after our login at hush) to some FBI.elitefitness.com server. Then he sends his doctored applet to Hush and asks then to use on mailserver1 for all EF customers.

That's kinda ridiculus though. Hush isn't going to enter into and SLA with someone that provides THEM modified code. Well at least I wouldn't. Furthermore, Hush probably wouldn't allow their reputation for secure communication to be risked this way even if they were open to the idea of allowing customers to modify their applet.

We've had customers ask us to simply allow them to do the branding changes to products they were reselling. Our answer was an adamant no, I am sure Hush looks at it the same way.

You answered your own question.

mailvault is one of the most secure services out there. I have a friend thats a computer nerd, bigtime hacker that did a comparison of like 20 different services. Big brother may be able to crack your shit but local pigs are not gonna be able to do anything. The safest thing to do is not to use your own computer for anything sketchy. I no longer use any of this shit because I am done having to live a life of paranoia but none the less its good to know about this stuff.

This is simple. If you don't want someone reading your email don't send it. The gov can decrypt just about anything. Short of having your own cryptology group and unlimited money we can be hacked at anytime by the feds. Right now though, lets hope they have bigger fish to fry than us.

This speculation about them being able to 'crack' your password... is complete non-sense. Here is why: for any lawenforcement to read your email they need a warrant.... if they get a warrant why would they bother to 'crack' your password.

The warrant would be served to Hushmail or other vendor and Hushmail would hand over the keys. Simple as that. A supenoa works wonders to read mail.. no need for your passphrase.

If they are out 'cracking' passwords then they don't have a warrant which means they are breaking the law to begin with.

Good points, but please remember, the EliteFitness.com and Hush mail servers are not located in the good ol US of A.

I am sorry I have to say this but about 4 years ago when I was a minor I did some stupid stuff, and the secret service came knocking and they told me about how they had monitored my emails and tracked me for months and I got into some serious shit. I was using hushmail. They said they were easily able to crack my account. So I would be very careful. Never check any suspiciousemails from home.

If made by man it can be destroy by man
