Comment on Microsoft shuts down email account of International Criminal Court chief prosecutor
unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de 1 day agoLiterally every university here has on prem, externally accessible email service that has basically 100% uptime and works perfectly fine with pgp and stuff.
But also Microsoft infrastructure is inherently insecure so thats a low bar to surpass.

If you think security of infrastructure has anything to do with PGP you’re misunderstanding what I mean. Self hosting mail for an organisation like the ICC would require multiple FTE’s. In the same vein that the current US administration is retaliating against them other rogue nations are constantly specifically targeting them. It’s already hard to deal with this without being specifically targeted and a couple times being targeted usually causes you to be compromised, dealing with it full time is almost impossible. Unless your team is monstrously big and securing your groupware is one of your core activities.
I’ve literally had jobs like this, and the idea that the average university that self hosts is more secure than Exchange Online is just plain wrong. I’m sure you can point to a couple of them that are safer of course, but they 'll be the exception.
