   So my major lesson learned from the #gpg/#pgp thing today is not to trust warnings by EFF in the future – while parts of their warning were factually correct, they were baiting for attention in annoying and unhelpful ways.

   This culture of publishing exploits and issues in a publicicty focused way is disturbing. I had hoped the EFF was beyond this needless hyping of vulns. Apparently not.

     A part of their information strategy is that they recommended to stop using #GPG/#PGP over stopping the mail client from rendering HTML (or loading external sources in HTML). That's disturbing.
     (Also that they let themselves be roped into a publicity campaign.)
