MODERATORS
My guess is that they would care less about people who decide to sign up for this service, but they are going to care about the customers on the other end of the line. AKA, the people who are not tunneling through Sunbird, and don't know they're communicating with a compromised user.
That's definitely true, if they follow their “Apple is the most secure consumer electronics manufacturer” PR strategy, they will be intent to try to trace what accounts were communicating with whom, and alert said Apple users about potential data breaches. Tbh, while it fits their MO of being really good at PR, it’s also just generally a good thing. People should know if messages they sent that they thought were secure turned out not to be.
