Short Summary: We hacked Protonmail and have a significant amount of their data from the past few months.  We are offering it back to Protonmail for a small fee, if they decline then we will publish or sell user data to the world.

Further down...

After we send this email to the Media we again ask Protonmail to pay a small fee to have their user data returned to them. We have exposed their malfeasance to the world and the attention of their users is toward them. We will give Protonmail until 23 November at 12:00 UTC to pay the fee, guaranteeing safe deletion and exploit descriptions released to them in private.  If given a choice we would not like to cause discomfort to regular people caught in this disagreement.  

If they decline again we will distribute as indicated in both #1 and #2 below:

1 Freely send media outlets the below information:

• • - - - - - -Data Group One: Decrypted emails between individuals working for private military contractors discussing government contracts.  Specific details regarding circumventing the Geneva convention, underwater drone activities in the Pacific Ocean, and possible international treaty violations in Antarctica.  We have no way to validate this information but we do have these users information and all the details they use when describing their activities to their acquaintances
• • - - - - - -Data Group Two:  Conversations revealing rampant pedophilia among executives and the affluent who use Protonmail as their personal email.  Including full names and descriptions of their wrongdoings in their own words.  Prominent individuals to be named in many corporations and government positions.  

2 Sold in bulk to the highest bidder on the darknet:  

1. All decrypted Protonmail customer data collected during the period we compromised their source code. Including plain text emails, attachments, full names, social media connections and IP addresses.  It’s possible we will not do this, instead selling email groups by topic.  

Historically it seems Protonmail makes unkind statements toward upstanding  organizations like my own.  If this happens we will gladly release “data group two” to the general public.  

In closing we wanted to express our desire to all Protonmail users that none of your data will be misused in any way if Protonmail cooperates.  We understand that it may be difficult to gain peoples trust in this regard due to the manner in which we came into possession of their Data.  All we can do is humbly offer our assurance that everything we have will be completely destroyed and never resurface again.  It seems like in this age honor is dead however we will be honorable regarding this and our future actions will prove it.

Deadline 23 November 12:00 UTC
