Researchers found critical vulnerabilities in three popular VPN services that could leak users' real IP addresses and other sensitive data.
VPN, or Virtual Private Network, is a great way to protect your daily online activities that work by encrypting your data and boosting security, as well as useful to obscure your actual IP address.
While some choose VPN services for online anonymity and data security, one major reason many people use VPN is to hide their real IP addresses to bypass online censorship and access websites that are blocked by their ISPs.


But what if when the VPN you thought is protecting your privacy is actually leaking your sensitive data and real location?
A team of three ethical hackers hired by privacy advocate firm VPN Mentor revealed that three popular VPN service providers—HotSpot Shield, PureVPN, and Zenmate—with millions of customers worldwide were found vulnerable to flaws that could compromise user's privacy.
The team includes application security researcher Paulos Yibelo, an ethical hacker known by his alias 'File Descriptor' and works for Cure53, and whereas, the identity of third one has not been revealed on demand.
PureVPN is the same company who lied to have a 'no log' policy, but a few months ago helped the FBI with logs that lead to the arrest of a Massachusetts man in a cyberstalking case.
After a series of privacy tests on the three VPN services, the team found that all three VPN services are leaking their users' real IP addresses, which can be used to identify individual users and their actual location.
Concerning consequences for end users, VPN Mentor explains that the vulnerabilities could "allow governments, hostile organizations [sic], or individuals to identify the actual IP address of a user, even with the use of the VPNs."
The issues in ZenMate and PureVPN have not been disclosed since they haven't yet patched, while VPN Mentor says the issues discovered in ZenMate VPN were less severe than HotSpot Shield and PureVPN.



The team found three separate vulnerabilities in AnchorFree's HotSpot Shield, which have been fixed by the company. Here's the list:

• Hijack all traffic (CVE-2018-7879) — This vulnerability resided in Hotspot Shield’s Chrome extension and could have allowed remote hackers to hijack and redirect victim's web traffic to a malicious site.
• DNS leak (CVE-2018-7878) — DNS leak flaw in Hotspot Shield exposed users' original IP address to the DNS server, allowing ISPs to monitor and record their online activities.
• Real IP Address leak (CVE-2018-7880) — This flaw poses a privacy threat to users since hackers can track user's real location and the ISP. the issue occurred because the extension had a loose whitelist for "direct connection." Researchers found that any domain with localhost, e.g., localhost.foo.bar.com, and 'type=a1fproxyspeedtest' in the URL bypass the proxy and leaks real IP address.

The researchers also reported similar vulnerabilities in the Chrome plugins of Zenmate and PureVPN, but for now, the details of the bugs are being kept under wraps since both the manufacturers have not yet fixed them.
Researchers believe that most other VPN services also suffer from similar issues.

a massive deal in its homeland thanks to its range of well-made smartphones which deliver a polished user experience at a low cost.

Times are perhaps changing for the company, however; its Mi Mix and Mi Mix 2 phones are premium propositions and it has been eyeing up a move into western markets for quite some time.

Even so, it hasn't forgotten its budget roots, and with that in mind we're taking a look at the Redmi 5, Xiaomi's attempt to bring 16:9 screens to the masses.

It's available from online resellers such as GearBest for around £130 – making it one of the most attractive low-cost Android phones on the market right now.

After launching the Alcatel POP4 10 4G tablet last week, the company now launched a new tablet in the Indian market — the Alcatel A3 10. Priced at Rs. 6,999 (approx. $109), the tablet will be available for purchase exclusively through online retailer Flipkart.

The tablet features an ergonomic design and measures just 9.5mm in thickness. The Alcatel A3 10 comes with a 10-inch HD IPS display having screen resolution of 1280 x 800 pixels.

The phone, reportedly called the Galaxy X, seems to have been in the works for years. In that time, countless reports have speculated on whether Samsung’s device would fold in or out, be the size of a smartphone or a tablet (or both), and ultimately attract an audience in a decidedly flat and rigid smartphone market.

But there’s been an even bigger mystery about Samsung’s folding phone: When will the device actually launch? Each time a report has claimed the Galaxy X would soon be available, the folding smartphone has been a no-show.

That may be about to change. Samsung confirmed twice in the last several months that it indeed plans to launch a folding smartphone in 2018 under its Galaxy Note brand.

Here’s a look at all we think we know so far about the Galaxy X.

Update Jan. 31: Latest Galaxy X Rumors
Samsung confirmed it plans to release its foldable smartphone in 2018 during a Jan. 31 earnings call.
A Samsung patent has surfaced that suggests the device could be hinged and folded for use either as a wide smartphone or one that folds one side over the other.




Samsung Galaxy X Rumors: Foldable Phone Release Date, Specs and More
Samsung's Galaxy X leaked on the company's own site with the model number SM-G888No. (That's an "o" at the end, not a zero.) The listing was ultimately removed, but the damage was done.
Release Date and Cost
We will see the Galaxy X — or whatever Samsung ultimately ends up calling its foldable handset — in 2018. The latest confirmation came from a Jan. 31 earnings call, where the company stated it plans to "differentiate through development of cutting-edge products such as foldable OLED smartphones."

This isn't the first time Samsung has acknowledged a 2018 launch, though it is the most definitive. Back in September 2017, Samsung mobile chief DJ Koh told Bloomberg that the Galaxy X was in development and said that there’s a strong likelihood the smartphone will be available sometime in the next year, though he conceded the project may also be delayed if any troubles arose. He also mentioned it would be slotted in the Galaxy Note range.

However, it's still unknown how much the Galaxy X might cost. Considering that the Galaxy Note 8 without a folding screen starts at $929, chances are you’ll pay more than $1,000 to own Samsung’s first folding phone.

Rumors are always subject to change, but Samsung let it slip in November 2017 that a device with the model number SM-G888No is coming. Samsung ultimately removed the model mention from its website, but not before it stoked flames that is getting close to a launch.
