"Hacked Data for 69K LimeVPN Users Up for Sale on Dark Web"

According to researchers, the VPN provider known as LimeVPN has been hit with a data breach affecting 69,400 user records. Recently a hacker claimed to have stolen the company’s entire customer database before knocking its website offline. The stolen records consist of user names, passwords in plain text, IP addresses, and billing information, according to researchers at PrivacySharks. Researchers added that the attack also included public and private keys of LimeVPN users. The hacker stated that they have the private keys of every user, which is a severe security issue as it means they can easily decrypt every LimeVPN user’s traffic. Even though LimeVPN is not a large provider like Surfshark or NordVPN, the fact that its entire database was scraped raises the question of security among VPN providers.
