Hi folks,

I read
https://motherboard.vice.com/en_us/article/qvvke7/email-provider-protonmail-says-it-hacked-back-then-walks-claim-back.

While it's not uncommon neither a big deal to find a cyber criminal
target an email provider's users through a phishing site, the response
of the provider saying that they "hacked back" could have serious
negative consequences. Even if the tweet was deleted it already left bad PR.

Regards,
