Ever have to send personal information out but did not want it to go out in plain text, where it can easily be intercepted? Well no longer fear lockbin is here! It sports a https connection and a service that will send a secure email.

Basically you agree to their service, prove your are not a robot, and type in a secret phrase and your message. Your friend only has one shot to get the phrase right unless you will have to resend it, so make sure he knows it. Finally you enter your email and theirs, it sends the email and asks them for the key. After they give it the key it will delete the email from its database never to be seen again until you resend it. If the kSy was correct they can read the email.

Please note the reason i said it’s fairly secure is because one of their admins can probably peak through your info fairly easily, but thats only 1 group of people. If you send it your normal way chances are many more groups will have access to snoop in. For that reason i ask you NEVER include something like your Credit Card Number and CVV number or your Social Security #(US Residents) as it can lead to some major identity theft.

Now if only MediaDefender used this server, all their emails may not of gotten leaked.
