European Police Hack VPN First VPN to Track Users -Dumb Hackers Believe "No Logs" Promise

There is no such thing as anonymity online.

Criminals = saying a politician is fat online.

My traffic is routed via a Raspberry Pi underneath a table in a coffee shop in an Eastern European country.

It reminds me of that encrypted phone marketed to criminals several years back which was being watched by the government the whole time and all the criminals were arrested.

Not only did we have this conversation (ain't no gd way it's been) eight years ago. I was under the impression that after a few relatively high profile reveals of VPNs being compelled to turn over their (non-existent) logs, that everyone learned their lesson.

i actually had that discussion back in the day when everyone was so hyped about it the most fishy thing goes in the vpn if the gov so wills it, they can fish out all the info with the least effort needed

70% of VPNs are Israeli own. Which means MOSSAD

I knew VPNs were bullshit when they started mass marketing to the masses

The real problem with VPNs is choosing which intelligence agency you like best.

This reminds me of a recent argument I had with someone who said "just encrypt the database, cloud services can do that now" and I kept insisting on how the service still needed a key to decrypt the data, but that brainless cog kept arguing that you .. just don't store the key anywhere... So here I am, in front of my keyboard, imagining the CTO printing the bits every time a request comes in and then using pen and paper to figure out where in the DB the requested data is and then presing 1 and 0 on a keyboard to send the response back to the user.
