404 Media reported pressure around AI adoption at Proton using interviews with eight current and one former employee plus internal records. Staff raised quality and security concerns about management’s code-generation claims and re-interview process. The company acknowledged anxiety and shortcomings in its communication while defending adoption. The reported share of AI-generated code was a management claim, not an independently measured result. The account raises questions about review processes and accountability; it does not establish broken encryption or a customer-data breach.
