Places that do encrypt data at rest:

- Slack

- iCloud/iMessages/Apple Notes

- Gmail + G Suite (https://support.google.com/googlecloud/answer/6056693?hl=en)

- Evernote (https://evernote.com/security/)

List of important services that apparently store data unencrypted:

- Quip (https://help.salesforce.com/servlet/servlet.FileDownload?file=0150M000003kuXGQAY)

Anyone else we should be aware of? Particularly places where people store sensitive information, that have lots of users, and that don't encrypt data at rest. e.g. for Quip, companies store all of their docs on there. The companies I know that use Quip would be essentially destroyed if there was a data leak.
