In addition, it is reported that breached SSL sessions have been traced
back to IP resources located in the North Pole and controlled by one
"Kr1S Kr1gL3" who has apparently privately purchased access rights to
all Hushmail data in an effort to determine which users have been
"naughty" and which have been "nice." 

Coincidence?  I don't think so.

Subject: Cryptome: NSA has real-time access to Hushmail servers

A frequent source 'A' sending updated NSA-Affiliated IP resources to
Cryptome's Web site has reported the following new information:

"Certain privacy/full session SSL email hosting services have been
purchased/changed operational control by NSA and affiliates within the
past few months, through private intermediary entities."

Reportedly the following services are controlled:

Hushmail / Canada (http://www.hushmail.com/ ),
Guardster / USA (http://www.guardster.com/ ), and
SAFe-mail.net / Israel (http://www.safe-mail.net/ )
