Popular VPN Service NordVPN Says it Was Hacked
NordVPN, a virtual private network provider that promises to "protect your privacy online," has confirmed it was hacked.

But the breach is likely to cause alarm that hackers may have been in a position to access some user data. NordVPN told TechCrunch that one of its datacenters was accessed in March 2018. "One of the datacenters in Finland we are renting our servers from was accessed with no authorization," said NordVPN spokesperson Laura Tyrell.
