The NordVPN Virtual Private Network Provider (VPN) was released officially the application managementof codes accesss NordPass this bdteam.
This release comes to reassure consumers who are interested in it protection of their privacy and data.
Φυσικά το μετά-μήνυμα είναι διαφορετικό αν σκεφτεί κανείς το ιστορικό της εταιρείας, που θα αναφέρουμε παρακάτω. Γενικότερα η protection των κωδικών πρόσβασης και οι υπηρεσίες διαχείρισης κωδικών φαίνεται να κερδίζουν έδαφος τα τελευταία χρόνια, καθώς παρατηρούνται όλο και πιο πολλές παραβιάσεις δεδομένων σε λογαριασμούς από την χρήση εύκολων κωδικών πρόσβασης.
But are passwords just the reason for the violations, or the reason for these violations to increase?
NordVPN was founded on 2012 και έχει (σύμφωνα με την εταιρεία) 12 εκατομμύρια χρήστες παγκοσμίως.
Recently (last month) NordVPN has been battling a hack on a company's server. Probably hackers they got the encryption keys, although it is not clear if any damage occurred (in addition to damaging the company's reputation).
Two weeks later, another investigation found that thousands of NordVPN users had fallen victim to attacks that led to unauthorized access to their NordVPN accounts.
The company announced that it found nothing linking the latest hack to the earlier one infringement of the central server, and cited as a possibility that it was due to the use of easy passwords by end users.
NordVPN hacked: not a hack is a violation the company reports
So she decided to launch the NordPass application to protect its users.
Because I won't get it
I must first say that all of the above seems to me suspicious. The release of the NordPass application at this time may serve other purposes not mentioned.
One scenario for me is that the company is trying to recover from the negative news that came out on the medianetwork lately, damaging reputation and clientele.
The "possibility" of facilitating the second hack by the end user who easily uses passwords is convenient, as it does not blame the company, which some time ago ran to collect the first hack that took place on a server.
If I need a VPN, I will not choose a company with 12 millions of users because these numbers attract hackers.
Finally, personally I am not convinced by the release of a password manager made available to the public after all of the above.
