Habits of secure and private contact

When you contact me, your family, your friends, or anyone else, if you do not protect your security and privacy, then you are sacrificing the security and privacy of your friends and family. Do you want to hurt the people you love? If not, learn—and always use—the habits of security and privacy.

Please, only contact me with secure and private methods.

Use a password manager

Without strong passwords, secure and private applications are not secure or private. If you use the same password in more than one place, you damage your security. To protect yourself and the people you love, use a password manager such as LastPass.

Send from your Proton Mail to my Proton Mail

When you send email from your Proton Mail account to another Proton Mail account, security and privacy is automatic and easy. How to do it:

1. You create a Proton Mail account.
2. Send an email from your Proton Mail to my Proton Mail: [email protected].

Furthermore, Proton is the email service provider for the hunterthinks.com domain, so an email from your Proton Mail address to any address in hunterthinks.com is secure.

One serious flaw with every Proton product

Proton still (as of 2026 May 29) uses Zendesk for all customer support. Zendesk communications are not secure. The data stored by Zendesk is not secure. Zendesk has been hacked. Zendesk will be hacked again. I am extremely angry at Proton for continuing to use Zendesk.

Encrypted contact form

The following contact form sends an encrypted message to me. But because you could enter a fake email address, I probably will not reply to messages sent through this form.

Contact Hunter Hogan with instant messenger

As of 5 March 2018, the security, privacy, and cross-platform accessibility of Wire – Private Messenger make it far superior to all other applications. The company moved its operations to the US. Everything else is a liability. If there is a secure instant messenger, it might be Threema. Signal and Telegram are not sufficiently secure.
