Title: Anyone else still use PGP 6.5.8?
Post by: club on January 11, 2012, 05:28 pm
I'm talking about the old school PGP release when you could still get it from MIT's website. It still seems to work every bit as good as then, even with Win7, and seems to run fine portable if you copy everything to a flash drive, and encrypted communication is still compatible with the newer gpg. I just find it a lot more user friendly than the newer stuff.

While I'm not a security expert, I cant imagine there is any risks in using this older PGP version. Am I right? It's still based on algorithms that no one has ever cracked.
