cyber-rights VS. hushmail

[Dobie-BOY]

Which one is better? What are the differences. Please explain in idiot terms. I dont know diddley s**t about computers. Thanks, Dobie

[shrpskn]

Both are services that offer it's users an encrypted email address...using services such as these is the safest way to communicate via email if you are concerned that your emails may potentially be intercepted or hacked.

Personally, I use hushmail, but I think both services are just as effective as the other.

[bigdog81]

either one is great... i use hushmail. and have so forever now with no problems or issues..
u cant be too safe these days

[abstrack]

If I am not mistaken, they are both owened by the same company. Cyber-rights = hushmail vice - versa

Leeds, UK & Dublin, Ireland-(01, November 2000) Cyber-Rights & Cyber - Liberties (UK) have partnered with Hush Communications to campaign against the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act (RIP) 2000, which passed into law on October 24th of this year. The Regulation of Investigatory Powers (RIP) Act outlines the extended reach of the UK government?s law enforcement and security agencies in regards to the monitoring and interception of communications across the Internet, and government access to encryption keys. Similar proposals are currently being discussed by the Council of Europe which would give law enforcement agencies extended powers and capabilities for Internet monitoring in more than 40 countries.

"Both the Website and project promote privacy of communications and hope to raise awareness for security on the Internet. In the absence of clearly defined conditions and safeguards protecting the privacy of communication s in homes and in working environments, it is time for the individual to take action and protect their communications. Cyber-Rights.Net will be an additional tool for concerned Internet users when securing their communica tions."

If you are concerned about hush or cyber then there are other companies that provide secure emails.

it doesnt matter what uncle sam wants to do, the 1024 bit encryption that stuff uses is virtually unbreakable. it would take the fastest computers in the world many years, possibly decades to break it.

it even says on the site that if a judge issued a court order demanding your email from hushmail/cyber-rights the best they could do would turn over an encrypted version of your email.

In another forum bumping a 3 week old thread would be frowned upon, but since this one doesn't get as many hits, I will do so

To my knowledge- hacking into hushmail/cyber rights doesnt have to do with hacking into the system, but rather trying to gather the user's password from the computer in which the user has..

Therein lies a good point. While the email is secure as far as the encryption goes, if uncle sam has your password they have your email if there is any saved. Even if its backed up to tape/disc somewhere with hushmail, they could restore it and using a password for your account read it.

There are so many variables in the security game, that no one offering a service like hushmail can guarentee your safety. They can take every REASONABLE step to ensure it, but they cannot say with 100% certainty you are safe.

[eliteforce]

why can't you freken search on CRights? what good is 250mb of storage if you can't search through your old email?

[therecanonlybe1]

Theres a rumor going that hushmail may be working with uncle sam.. anyone else heard this?

funny... that is a theory that i was thinking of the other day when i noticed that a lot of scources seem to just use hushmail and no other encrypted email...i mean how the hell would we know whats real from not.

[LatinoPR]

I heard that they keep everything for 5 years,so what ever you are done on hushmail 5 years ago still in record.
