[ExI] internet security

[spike]

Question please, Harvey and the Hipsters,

 

(.opening act for Linkin Park concert.)

 

Suppose a small group of people are working together on a project which they
don't want leaked.  Nothing illegal, just sensitive information, such as
medical stuff perhaps, family business, a commercial product a group is
developing, that sort of thing, nothing any government or press would care
about, but something the group doesn't want leaked.  The traffic includes
spreadsheets, word documents, sensitive data and a closed group of about 6
people.  

 

Is there any reason to distrust email?  If so is there any advantage to
using a site such as SPOKT or equivalent, some additional password protected
site of that nature?  These services don't encrypt as far as I know, so it
looks to me from a security point of view they are equivalent to email.
