When choosing a VPN service it is very important to pay attention to several criteria, one of them being the tariffs. Imagine: VPN server maintenance and service are quite expensive for provider companies. Why would an unknown company offer you a free service if it could not get anything in return? The answer is simple - they sell customer data and make a profit this way.

As they say, it never happened (https://t.me/exploitex/1534) and here it is again (https://cybernews.com/security/one-of-the-biggest-android-vpns-hacked-data-of -21-million-users-from-3-android-vpns-put-for-sale-online) - VPN's 21 million free Android users - the data is displayed for sale online. This database contains user data for three popular VPN applications: GeckoVPN, ChatVPN, and SuperVPN. The latter is one of the most downloaded VPNs for Android, with 100 million users. GeckoVPN and ChatVPN have been downloaded 1 million and 50 thousand times, respectively.

In total, the database contains 21 million records containing email addresses, passwords, usernames, country data, and billing information. The database also contains information about user devices such as model, serial number. Choose your VPN wisely.
