"We have now had a total of four email messages disappear without a trace, stemming from multiple independent senders. Not only have the emails not arrived, but there is no trace of the emails in our “sent” folders. In the case of OSTIF, this is the Google Apps business version of Gmail where these sent emails have disappeared.

This suggests that outside actors are attempting to listen in on and/or interfere with the audit process.

We are setting up alternate means of encrypted communications in order to move forward with the audit project."

If they are employing 3rd party for this they need to inquire with ProtonMail, seriously.
the messages may reappear, loaded :eek:
EDIT:
After reading the full article I suspect this to be nothing more than a attention grabbing senario.
aka Publicity stunt

I'm tending the same way .
As you say , a full reading raises suspicions , and it wouldn't be the first time developers have tried such stunts.

" Our encryption is so strong and vital that mysterious entities are snooping " ..... cue music .... X-files ? Twilight Zone ?
