Lavabit to reopen for 5 days

Were you counting on Lavabit to keep your emails secure? All may not be lost. Sure, you still have to find a new email provider, and that's no fun. At least you will be able to download your mail now, if you hurry.

Before Lavabit data becomes publicly available again, users will have 72 hours to change their passwords at the rebelliously named https://liberty.lavabit.com. Lavabit says it is offering a brief password reset window to ease concerns that user login data may have been compromised.

Also, if you are the type of person who likes freedom, consider contributing to Lavabit's legal fund¹.
