Researchers warn PGP and S/MIME users of serious vulnerabilities

A professor at Mnster University issues a warning on Sunday about serious vulnerabilities in PGP/GPG and S/MIME encryption. If exploited, the vulnerability could reveal plain text communications. The issue also impacts emails from the past, including encrypted emails sent in the past. The EFF has recommended that users of Enigmail on Thunderbird, GPG tools on Apple Mail, and GPG4win on Outlook disable those applications until things are fixed. The vulnerabilities are not public, but some experts say they can be mitigated.”]
