Being anonymous on the Internet is tricky, even with nice VPNs 
"Seven 'no log' VPN providers accused of leaking – yup, you guessed it – 1.2TB of user logs onto the internet
Maybe it was the old Lionel Hutz play: 'No-logging VPN? I meant, No! Logging VPN!'
A string of "zero logging" VPN providers have some explaining to do after more than a terabyte of user logs were found on their servers unprotected and facing the public internet.
This data, we are told, included in at least some cases clear-text passwords, personal information, and lists of websites visited, all for anyone to stumble upon.
It all came to light this week after Comparitech's Bob Diachenko spotted 894GB of records in an unsecured Elasticsearch cluster that belonged to UFO VPN."
