Comment on Proton launches privacy-first alternative to Excel and Google Sheets
eodur@piefed.social 1 week agoYeah, that mess was quite disappointing. I’m still waiting for them to make a clarifying statement on it. I suppose removing it and just not getting further involved in politics is at least “better” than continuing to double down.

Well, hope you like AI shit too because the people at proton are in love with vibe coding. Get ready for your data to be exfilled by a prompt injection in a spam email.

Source?

I genuinely tried to find the source for this but all I got from google were ads for vibe coding and proton’s own AI. So take this half-remembered anecdote with a grain of salt, I guess. Best i’ve got is this

People found AI config files in their public repos. When they were found, Proton deleted all discussion of it and then altered the repository history to pretend the config files were never there.
Shady, scummy behavior. They’ve tried to do the same ‘delete everything and ignore it’ when their CEO publicly praised Trump and the Republican party, and then kept doubling down in reddit and mastodon comments until someone on the PR team wrested the account away from him and started mass-deleting all of it.

I’m well aware of their CEO positions, but they have no impact on the security while using LLMs does. I understand people that stopped using Proton services because of any of their past actions, but until now nothing they did compromised the security of the products.
Will be interesting to see what their next annual independent security audit will say.

Is this a trustworthy analysis? I wanted to understand what happened. I am confused after reading this a while back, but still seeing people actively saying he praised Trump. I do what to know exactly what happened in the end to make a judgement.
