What is Cryptome?

"Cryptome welcomes documents for publication that are prohibited by
governments worldwide, in particular material on freedom of
expression, privacy, cryptology, dual-use technologies, national
security, intelligence, and secret governance -- open, secret and
classified documents -- but not limited to those."

A trollish statement saying, "everything in short".

Cryptome insinuated that Protonmail is less secure after using an
israeli reverse proxy (

). How is it less secure?

Protonmail's response:

It says something if Fox News allowed a favorable AP report on
Cryptome on their website:

John Young states that Wikileaks is a criminal organization for needing money.

Compare and contrast Cryptome and Wikileaks:
The Wau Holland Foundation collected $1.2 million for Wikileaks, and
later no longer could recieve donations from Paypal, while it's
charitable status was challenged and revoked by German authorities.

Cryptome is now a non-profit.
