Need a simple end to end encrypted email solution, and for regular users to understand that solution isn’t Gmail for fax to die. The health and financial sectors are keeping fax alive, and it isn’t completely their fault.
Correct me if I’m wrong but fax isn’t end to end encrypted so how is it deemed more secure than email which also isn’t end to end encrypted (by default).
I suppose it has more to do with the opportunity for a significant breach. The healthcare provider’s email system is a big target full of exploits. Fax is also HIPPAHIPAA compliant, email is not.
Yeah I just love having my cancer diagnosis sent in plaintext over copper wire such that anyone with a dollar store audio recorder and physical access to the wire can intercept. If there’s one thing 19th century data transmission tech is known for, it’s security and privacy.
Is it too much to ask that hospitals use the literally decades old AES standard for sending medical data?
It is time for the fax machine to die.
It has been time for the fax Machine to die for the last 18 years.
For the love of God somebody, please kill the fax machine.

Abraham Lincoln sent faxes! Ancient tech.
As someone who provides customer support for software that basically turns a Windows server into a giant fax machine, I 100% agree.
