If true this reflects very poorly on NordVPN. How much criticism did they manage to suppress successfully until someone sued for blackmail?
NordVPN has sent legal threats to many Youtubers and bloggers anytime they don't like what's written.
NordVPN and ProtonVPN are enemies of free speech and open internet.
And how do you know the Micfo IP fraud is not related to NordVPN? They were using them extensively.
Collective Seven (C7) is related to a very long list of VPNs, including Nord, yet NordVPN has denied knowing them.
Anyhow, how is that Nord the bad guy now and everyone forgets the fact that they just wanted to let torguard know about their own vulnerability to fix?
It looks bad because they tried to force censorship in exchange for a non vulnerability. Torguard has a bounty program but instead Nord sent someone to the Torguard employee's house and tried to intimidate them into silencing a Youtuber.
It appears Nord knew what they had was not a vulnerability but still wanted use it as leverage for taking down the Youtuber's videos. This is censorship at it's worst.
