Tom Okman, of Nord’s tech advisory board, told CNET that the process is still ongoing.

Nord’s blog post followed shortly after.
So apparently NordVPN was compromised at some point.
If that trust gets violated, then there’s no point in using the service,“one commenterwrote.
Threeencryptionkeys were leaked, but they were the kind that are useless after an hour.
Last year, Nord became the first major VPN to have its no-logging policyindependently audited.
Is it a deal breaker?
Absolute security is often not possible.”
At this stage, this is probably the best they can do."
From that perspective, if privacy really was protected … there was not a cyber breach."
Nord is raising its standards for the data centers it contracts with, Okman said.
He also agreed that better practices could have been applied.
Nord is also making a number of server security improvements, including using only physical hardware servers.
“We are now building only encrypted servers, immune to such breaches.
There were no signs that could possibly indicate that anyone meddled with it.”
So, where does that leave VPN users looking for the safest vendor to secure their browsing?
“Regardless, we’ll issue refunds for anyone concerned with this matter.
Whether or not that refund offer is available indefinitely is unclear.
As for potential new customers?
