Proton Mail supposed to be one of the best email companies to prevent hacking. They pride themselves about keeping your information safe through encryption.

Unfortunately, its a tactic which may work.

I think the FBI should not be tasked with ciber crimes investigations, but there it is. They have too much authority as it is.
