I agree. But if there was a bulk intercept/decryption of a million whitehouse.gov emails, maybe an alias makes it a little tougher. Also, I could be totally wrong.JonA wrote: ↑Tue Aug 22, 2023 5:48 amMaybe. Email transmission is encrypted and if he followed any sort of precautions, the email itself would be encrypted too.
If a foreign adversary intercepted a transmission from Air Force 2, managed to wrangle enough super computers, running for however many lifetimes of the universe it takes to break modern encryption, I don't think they'll be stymied much by an email alias. "Oops! Turns out this email is just from oj.idenbay@mailgay.com. dang!"
But there would seem to be a precedent:

And, if I remember right, Clinton didn’t take many safeguards to protect these emails, so maybe an alias is better than nothing? Or maybe it doesn’t make a difference.
