MyEtherWallet & Hola VPN

If you've used both together recently you need to be aware of a hack problem and you should take appropriate action.

"The incident is a good reminder of why it is better to pay for a VPN service rather than use a free one."

how is a free VPN safer than a pay one. if a person hacks the pay one they do the same thing?

you pay for a vpn service that isnt used by a lot of people (like free vpns are). that in itself makes you less of a target for a hacker who is incentivized to go after the most accounts for their efforts.
