This was neither private nor secure. By definition, if someone else has access to your account, it's not private. Laziness did this person in. He half-assed it.

Well, by definition, public key crypto and proper key management can let others have your encrypted data and it'll still be safe.

Of course, this is not what the hushmail bastards were providing.
