Ask HN: PayPal sent me unencrypted mail with my purchase details
I received email from PayPal that had confirmation of shipment and tracking ids as well as my name, address, my vendor&#x27;s name, the product I purchased and a bunch of other details. This was sent without any encryption which gives me reason to believe that all parties involved in the transmission of message including ISPs, Data Centers etc could read my message in transit. I checked other emails from Paypal and all of them are encrypted with TLS. Is this an isolated incident? Or does this have something to do with what I purchased ( pertaining to a highly sensitive procedure that&#x27;s a topic of hot-debate these days with tons of state banning it outright). What&#x27;s going on here?
