Oh, great. Without any control on your part, each time anew you
download executable code from a site you _think_ is http://www.hushmail.com/
Heck, I don't even trust a binary I built on a local machine because
it may be compromised, since it's on a network. I would feel reasonably
secure if the machine was only connected via sneakernet.
In any case it does some good since it increases information streams
immune to ASIC farm screening. Echelons/Enfopols of this world will
rejoice ...
