VPN IPVanish No-Logging VPN Led Homeland Security to Comcast User

[baronchrist]

IPVanish, a VPN provider that for years claimed a strict no-logging policy, led Homeland Security to a suspect using a Comcast IP address, court papers filed in 2016 reveal. StackPath, the new operator of IPVanish, informs TorrentFreak that they won’t speak on behalf of the former team who have long since left the company. Assurances of security have been promised for the future, however. On May 4, 2016, Scott Sikes, a Special Agent with the Department of Homeland Security, was engaged in a child abuse investigation.

First, it was HMA then PureVPN was dragged and now IPVanish.
IPVanish has also released the official statement on this issue here at Blog.
I read the HMA statement as well on their blog and PureVPN’s official release on their VPN Logging Issue as well.

IPVanish is the latest high-profile VPN to have provided information to the authorities after earlier claiming security for their users. Back in 2011, HideMyAss handed over information that would help to jail LulzSec hacker Cody Kretsinger. Last year it was revealed that PureVPN helped the FBI catch a cyberstalker.

I tried PIA.. They had some serious IP leaks that led to me being doxxed and ddos'd. Learned a lesson about trust though, and to stay out of no name discord servers. Lmfao. Going back and forth between Nord and Express right now. Nord has the speed, but Express has the features. I'm so torn.

A VPN alone does not Protect you fully. You need all kind of tweaks and settings.
You Browser alone can rat you out pretty nicely. Even with a VPN.
