Proton Mail is a Swiss email service founded by Andy Yen, Jason Stockman, and Wei Sun that protects data with zero-access encryption and end-to-end encryption between Proton users. Its security features include PhishGuard, link confirmation, dark web monitoring, Hide-My-Email aliases, and Proton Sentinel, which detects suspicious sign-ins. The service has more than 100 million accounts worldwide and offers a free 1 GB plan, Mail Plus for $1.99 per month, and Proton Unlimited for $6.49 per month. Users can create an account or migrate messages, contacts, and calendars from Gmail, Outlook, or Yahoo using Easy Switch. These protections are particularly important for cryptocurrency holders, whose email addresses are used to confirm withdrawals, reset passwords, and receive authentication codes.
