👀 NordVPN confirms it was hacked

I see NordVPN's aggressive advertising and YouTube sponsorship a lot! Thankfully never went with them. 👀

Any users here? Do you use a VPN?

I have no restrictions to circumvent. So I stay up with my full speed instead of privacy.

Don't really use a VPN. I trust the sites I go on.

Same here. Occasionally I use TunnelBear free plan but only for testing i18n/Geolocation stuff.

I assign a hardcoded IP in Laravel middleware for this stuff. 😅

NordVPN is a solid vpn, they always rank highly on security audits and reviews, and they're still one of the cheapest paid options. As usual, the media blows up this sort of thing, even techcrunch. About 5 minutes of skimming NordVPN (@NordVPN) on Twitter and Why the NordVPN network is safe after a third-party provider breach | NordVPN will show it isn't a big deal.

NordVPN does not keep logs, so what could a malicious actor get, even if they walked out of the building with the server and had all the time in the world?
