VPN firm that claims zero logs policy leaks 20 million user logs
#1
JULY 16TH, 2020  SUDAIS ASIF PRIVACY, SURVEILLANCE      The VPN company in the discussion is a Hong Kong-based UFO VPN owned by Dreamfii HK Limited.
Perhaps, the most ironic moments in the cybersecurity world occur when those who promise to protect your online privacy cannot guard their own turf. We’ve seen this happen from time to time with security firms getting hacked themselves.

Another similar case has emerged recently when the database of a Hong Kong-based VPN provider called UFO VPN was exposed with more than 20 million users logs.

Discovered by researchers from Comparitech on July 1st, 2020; the exposure occurred due to the database hosted on an Elasticsearch cluster being left without any password.         https://www.hackread.com/vpn-firm-zero-l...user-logs/
