Gmail

Users in the open-source community are voicing concerns about ethical practices at Proton Mail, the Swiss privacy-focused email provider. Some say they had just switched from Google's Gmail only to hear worrying claims, and are now asking peers what alternatives to use for email and cloud storage, with suggestions including self-hosted options like Nextcloud.

A customer has raised concerns about a suspicious-looking email from an Australian bank. The message arrived in Gmail from the generic name "statements", with no sender icon, header image or sign-off, and was described as an unprofessional wall of text with poor punctuation. Notably, it was sent from the domain xyz.bank rather than the bank's website domain xyzbank.com.au, prompting questions about why the bank uses a different address and whether the email is legitimate.
