The logs belonged to a group of popular free VPN apps that are all based in Hong Kong \u2013 ironically, all of the VPNs claim to have a no logging policy which has now been proven incorrect. Leaked information includes IP address, device ID, connection logs, and more. The information was online for weeks and was not encrypted nor protected by a password. The ousted VPNs are UFO VPN, FAST VPN, FREE VPN, Super VPN, Flash VPN, and Rabbit VPN.<\/p>\n<p>Read more: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.privateinternetaccess.com\/blog\/free-vpns-based-in-hong-kong-caught-logging\/?aff=PNO8C\">https:\/\/www.privateinternetaccess.com\/blog\/free-vpns-based-in-hong-kong-caught-logging\/<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Privacy-loving EU building massive travel surveillance system for visitors that will affect billions of people<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-13541\" src=\"https:\/\/www.privateinternetaccess.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Munich_Airport_T1_L4_passport_controls-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.privateinternetaccess.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Munich_Airport_T1_L4_passport_controls-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.privateinternetaccess.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Munich_Airport_T1_L4_passport_controls-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.privateinternetaccess.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Munich_Airport_T1_L4_passport_controls-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.privateinternetaccess.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Munich_Airport_T1_L4_passport_controls-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.privateinternetaccess.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Munich_Airport_T1_L4_passport_controls.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 85vw, 300px\" \/>The EU is building a massive travel surveillance system that will collect fingerprints and photographs and make them available for algorithms and law enforcement. All those that could potentially travel to Europe under a visa or a travel authorization will be subject to the new travel surveillance database \u2013 that\u2019s over 6 billion people. What\u2019s more, the government is making the travel companies liable if a targeted person is allowed to travel, so those companies will have access to the database and will perform additional checks at time of purchase. In juxtaposition with the GDPR, it is disappointing and contradictory to see that the EU is still building these anti-privacy institutions.<\/p>\n<p>Read more: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.privateinternetaccess.com\/blog\/privacy-loving-eu-building-massive-travel-surveillance-system-for-visitors-that-will-affect-billions-of-people\/?aff=PNO8C\">https:\/\/www.privateinternetaccess.com\/blog\/privacy-loving-eu-building-massive-travel-surveillance-system-for-visitors-that-will-affect-billions-of-people\/<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Huawei 5G banned in the United Kingdom; must be removed by 2027<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-13551\" src=\"https:\/\/www.privateinternetaccess.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/huawei-5g-banned-in-united-kingdom-300x158.jpg\" alt=\"huawei 5g banned in united kingdom\" width=\"300\" height=\"158\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.privateinternetaccess.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/huawei-5g-banned-in-united-kingdom-300x158.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.privateinternetaccess.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/huawei-5g-banned-in-united-kingdom-1024x538.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.privateinternetaccess.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/huawei-5g-banned-in-united-kingdom-768x403.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.privateinternetaccess.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/huawei-5g-banned-in-united-kingdom.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 85vw, 300px\" \/>The government in the United Kingdom has made the move to ban telecommunications companies from using 5G equipment from Huawei. This follows sanctions put on Huawei by the United States. Many companies in the United Kingdom already utilize Huawei 5G equipment and are being given until 2027 to retire such hardware. Digital Secretary Oliver Dowden confirmed that they would forbid mobile providers from buying Huawei 5G kits here on out. The decision was made citing both national security and economic benefits.<\/p>\n<p>Read more: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.privateinternetaccess.com\/blog\/huawei-5g-banned-in-the-united-kingdom-must-be-removed-by-2027\/?aff=PNO8C\">https:\/\/www.privateinternetaccess.com\/blog\/huawei-5g-banned-in-the-united-kingdom-must-be-removed-by-2027\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.privateinternetaccess.com\/buy-vpn-online?coupon=PNO8C\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-15135 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.privateinternetaccess.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/BlogAd.jpg\" alt=\"Buy Private Internet Access VPN\" width=\"900\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.privateinternetaccess.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/BlogAd.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.privateinternetaccess.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/BlogAd-300x67.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.privateinternetaccess.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/BlogAd-768x171.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"padding: 10px; margin: 30px 0; background: #118011; color: #ffffff; text-transform: uppercase; font-weight: 400;\">More Privacy News This Week:<\/h2>\n<h3>Government admits breaking privacy law with NHS test and trace<\/h3>\n<p>The United Kingdom\u2019s Department of Health and Social Care has admitted that their new COVID-19 tracing app has broken privacy law.

Now that the framework is being used around the world, many are noticing that utilizing the contact tracing framework still leaves Google with information about the contact tracing app user\u2019s locations because such permissions must be given to utilize Bluetooth.
