Why Hushmail is Especially DangerousHushmail is the poster-boy for cooperating with the Feds, especially the DEA. If you read their terms of service, you would soon find out that Hush has a ZERO TOLERANCE for criminal activity -- they actively cooperate with the police, even in the absence of a warrant. If the DEA wants to get a warrant, it's easy for them to do so -- they use the Mutual Law Enforcement Assistance Treaty (MLAT) between the U.S. and Canada. The DEA goes to the U.S. government, who approaches the Canadian government, and the Minister of Justice issues an order to the B.C. courts to issue a warrant to give the DEA what it wants. This is what the DEA did in "Operation Raw Deal" (ORD) in 2007, when they targeted American steroid dealers and their Chinese bulk powdered steroid suppliers. Hushmail provided 12 CDs worth of DECRYPTED email to the DEA as part of Operation Raw Deal. Even as late as last year, people are still being arrested as a result of ORD. A DEA spokesman boasted to the media about receiving more than 100,000 DECRYPTED email messages from Hushmail. It has also been reported (and I believe this to be true) that Hushmail scans email headers (like Subject: lines) for keywords -- any keywords matching those on a list, are flagged, and the accounts/emails are examined.If Hushmail finds that an account is being used for illegal activity, they lock the account, and turn over the account info to the RCMP/Interpol.
