In its own blog post, Proton reveals that the block was put in place because bomb threats have been sent to numerous Russian cities via ProtonMail. Information about the administrators of the mailboxes used to send threats has not been provided.” “The company responded with a categorical refusal to Roskomnadzor’s repeated requests for information to be included in the register of information dissemination organizers on the Internet. “This email service was used by cybercriminals both in 2019 and especially actively in January 2020 to send false messages about the massive mining of objects in the Russian Federation under the guise of reliable information,” the press release reads. In a press release, Russia’s telecommunications watchdog Roskomnadzor justified the decision saying that the services have been used by cybercriminals. The Russian government has blocked access to Proton Technologies’ ProtonVPN and ProtonMail services for failing to comply with local laws.
