TL;dr of the article :

  1. They keep your private key on their servers.
  2. Their implementation allows for AITM attacks.
  3. It's closed source.
  4. There's no perfect forward secrecy.

I hope politicians use the hell out of it, so we can see what they really think when it gets (inevitably) hacked in a few weeks.
