In a major shocker, 7 virtual private network (VPN) providers, all hailing from Hong Kong, have been caught leaking private data of their users. The free services left as much as 1.2TB of data exposed on a shared yet unprotected server, leaving it open to be mined and used by anyone who knew where to look. All the apps were on the same server; they redirected payments to Dreamfii, and at least three of them had a nearly identical web page.
