    There's an informative HN discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21312609

    From https://techcrunch.com/2019/10/21/nordvpn-confirms-it-was-hacked/
    I'm not entirely surprised that a PR flack wasn't aware of remote maintenance stuff.

    But I am surprised that their engineers didn't get it locked down. I mean, I do -- and I'm just an amateur/hobbyist.

    Damn, that is a crazy bug :eek:

    Yet another reason to sign up via Tor, use well-mixed Bitcoin, and throwaway email addresses.
