[PLUG] new exploit for PGP


I've been seeing a lot of hype about the new exploit for PGP published this morning, https://www.zdnet.com/article/uninstall-pgp-eff-warns-of-exploit-that-may-reveal-plaintext-of-encrypted-emails/

I thought this post from the GPG list might be of interest to folks here. 

https://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gnupg-users/2018-May/060315.html

The EFF has been recommending uninstalling PGP until a patch is published,

Apparently the GPG maintainer is recommending to either not use HTML email or to use authenticated encryption. 

Cheers,

Michael
