Exactly that. I don’t use that service but the past 7 years could have seen dozens of other events like this with less harmless outcome, and its clear they would not report these either.
Especially the way they snake around why they didnt disclose it. “We can only disclose now”. Why? They made it clear they didn’t receive a court order or anything that would prevent them. They specifically mention that it was only an informal phone call from a police department.
I dunno, if my VPN came out and said “heads up, one of our servers was seized and you have literally nothing to worry about because nothing is stored or logged on our servers,” that’s good news IMO. Obviously the best case scenario is not having it seized, but sometimes that’s not possible, and it’s a mark of a good VPN when the consequences to you of a server being seized are the same as if it wasn’t (i.e., none).
Yeah disclosure is always good its just odd the way they handled it
-no official post (yet)
-makes the announcement as a reply to a forum post even though they have a specific forum thread for this exact thing
-all of a sudden has a 7 year wait time on disclosures policy
-not written very professionally (i tend to assume english is a 2nd language for the staff but still as an orginization the staff should be a bit more refined).
I’m a user of airvpn. I like them but they do odd things like this, or being very obtuse about why they wont get audited.
