Companies including Google, Yahoo, Microsoft and AOL are working on a system to help prevent users from receiving malicious emails. The group’s goal is to make email a more secure messaging system, where sensitive data like bank information can be transmitted safely.

Prosecutors are working on a deal with the companies storing the data and hope to release your files in the near future. If no deal is made, the data could be gone as early as this week.
