Yep. I think this is the one I originally read. It goes into some detail about why the mail client functions differently from the VPN (for example) and Proton even suggested a way to prevent what happened for any future users. It's prescient advice for any user or activist that relies on secure email, Proton or not.

Thanks for sharing. I think this is a concern because if they did it for mail, would they do it for the VPN? I would be more concerned if it turned out the VPN logs were turned over. Because in that seems like a much bigger issue.
