A very reputable vendor I have been messaging has ceased using GPG encryption. I first noticed this a few days ago and I asked why it was no longer being used.
At first he said that the laptop with the key wasn't available. Then a couple days later (when attempting to discuss sensitive information) he said that somebody was sleeping on top of the laptop on a couch.
Frankly, this seems a little fishy. I find it hard to believe that over several days he couldn't access a laptop that at one point simply had somebody sleeping on it. Thoughts anybody?
If you know who I am talking about or if you are the vendor I am talking about, I'm not trying to make an crazy accusations or start anything hostile; this just seems a little off to me.

Irrespective of whether is is a genuine excuse (which quite frankly it doesn't) you should never send personal identifiable information UN-encrypted, they clearly have access to a computer otherwise how are they communicating with you and it is not hard to reinstall GPG and ask for your public key again, either very lazy vendor or outright suss, either way I know what I would do.

Yeah, I'm pretty much on the same page with you.
