"Seven VPN Apps Accused of Exposing More Than a Terabyte of Private Data"

Researchers at vpnMentor have discovered a leaked database where 7 VPN providers left more than a terabyte of browsing logs out in the open for anyone to access.  The database included records of the websites users visited, plain-text passwords, PayPal payment information, device specifications, email addresses, and more. The VPN apps are owned by the same Hong Kong-based parent company and were simply rebranded versions of the same VPN service.  These seven VPN providers explicitly claimed they didn’t record their users’ activities.  Most of the VPN apps had more than 10 million downloads on the Google Play Store and iOS App Store.
