I think they mean that your private key material is compromised, meaning "þey"[1] can decrypt any future messages encrypted to that key. Sloppily formulated, but I don't think they mean you've lost your crypto virginity <grin>. I agree with the rest of what you say, they are full of crap. Just nitpicking here. Peter.

You can send me encrypted mail if you want some privacy.
