OP, why did you put "news media claims" at the beginning of this post title? are you doubting the veracity of it? the journalist and outlet reporting this are both well known and reputable, and they have quotes from Proton's head of communications confirming it.

Btw, you can read the whole article here on archive.org.

Yes, I wanted to know if it was a legit story. Saw it come up everywhere, and I doubted about the source and if it was only a "headline" for the clicks. And I couldn't read any of the articles written about it.

now that i've linked you to the paywall bypass and pointed out that it is a credible journalist and outlet reporting that Proton confirmed that this happened, why not update your post title to match the article's accurate headline?
