    A new security vulnerability has been discovered in PGP (and GPG) that affects a range of email clients and plugins. To protect yourself, EFF highly recommends that for now you uninstall or disable your PGP email plug-in. #efail 1/4https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2018/05/attention-pgp-users-new-vulnerabilities-require-you-take-action-now …

        For now, do not decrypt encrypted PGP messages that you receive using your email client. Instead, use non-email based messaging platforms, like Signal, for your encrypted messaging needs.

        EFF took a close look at the #efail PGP vulnerability. Here’s how it works in plain-as-possible language, and why we’ve recommended—for now—users disable PGP email plugins.https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2018/05/not-so-pretty-what-you-need-know-about-e-fail-and-pgp-flaw-0 …

        "immediately disable and/or uninstall tools that automatically decrypt PGP-encrypted email" The tools do not do this automatically, they require manually entering a passphrase. Does this affect all platforms or just ones with back doors (e.g. OS X, Windows) on which PGP futile?

        They're not saying you should use plaintext, they're saying you should use something else until the bug is fixed. This is probably a remote code execution bug (or an active key disclosure flaw). You shouldn't *decrypt* (untrusted) incoming email [which could be malicious].

        No mention of S/MIME? This is really at danger because authenticated encryption is not used with S/MIME. In contrast OpenPGP uses AE for 15 years. I just checked GpgOL and it does check for decryption errors and does not show the message. (see https://dev.gnupg.org/T3714 )

        This is something different here. We'll release the full info on this in ~24h.
