[QUOTE="Threadripper, post: 840561, member: 78223"] TorGuard and VikingVPN were also compromised, but more on the topic of NordVPN specifically: [LIST] [*]Their owners and management are anonymous, they could be literally anybody. [*]They are based in Panama, a tax haven with virtually no digital privacy laws and high levels of law enforcement corruption. [*]Their ads are complete BS, from fake countdowns for deals on their website, to exaggerated "anti-malware" capability" which is just DNS blocking (while this is a [I]good[/I] thing, they market it completely inappropriately). They can't even spell Ubuntu right...[ATTACH type="full" alt="EGltCE7XUAEq8qf.png"]227984[/ATTACH] [*]It was compromised: root access gained, OpenVPN keys leaked and their expired TLS cert leaked. [/LIST] ...and people still trust them. [/QUOTE]
