VPNs are not the endall for security
VPN Security an Issue that needs to be addressed
It is a common belief that the best way to protect one’s privacy online is to
use a VPN (virtual private network). VPNs theoretically let you use the public
internet as if you were on a private network. They let you hide and encrypt your
online activity, even from your own ISP. And they enable you to spoof your
location, so you can say you’re going online in another city or
country.
However, a recent study found that an alarmingly high number of
VPN services offered through Android apps violate your privacy, rather than
protect it.
The study found that 38% of Android VPNs are infected with
malware, 18% don’t have encryption and 75% track user activity. Some Android
VPNs inject JavaScript programs for tracking or for redirecting online shopping
queries to paid partners of the app creator.
