In what seems a logical approach to keep up with their privacy claims, the client-side part of Proton's services and applications are available as open-source. Otherwise, you wouldn't locate your datacenter on a former military bunker.
Obviously, this shouldn't come as a surprise for anyone, much less for Proton staff. Malicious actors, including adversarial nation-states, will keep trying to gain access to Proton's data for their own interests. These actors may not be natural adversaries of Switzerland (assuming this country has any), but the level of lawful collaboration provided by Proton may not be enough for them, or it is even 'non-convenient' to issue a legal requirement that may expose the operation to the individuals being investigated.
'Non-inherently-malicious' actors, backed with nation-state resources, may target Proton's infrastructure at some points that are not usually reachable for regular malicious actors.
