Ladar Levison was forced to give Lavabit's SSL private key to the feds, so it is no more secure. That's why he (or GaDaddy, the issuer) revoked the certificate.



If the Feds seized the server why would it be a surprise that the SSL certificate has been compromised? The server is where the private key lives...


They didn't seize the server.
