NordVPN Breach Update: User account Compromised

[Baltimore]

This thing just keeps getting worse.

NordVPN user accounts compromised and passwords exposed, report says

It appears the passwords became public through something called credential stuffing, an attack that uses credentials from one leak to access other accounts with the same username and password, according to the report.

This incident isn’t indicative of a breach on the network’s servers, Ars Technica notes. It stems in part from people choosing simple passwords and using them across more than one site.
