NordVPN Says “We’re Not Hacked” While the Internet Screams Otherwise

Oh bloody hell, here we go again. NordVPN—yeah, that fortress of “your privacy is safe, we swear”—is currently shouting from the rooftops that they haven’t been hacked. Some bunch of digital wankers strutted around online claiming they had user data from a breach, but NordVPN’s PR machine is screaming “FAKE NEWS!” faster than a manager denying blame after deleting a production database.

So what’s the official word from the VPN overlords? They’re saying it’s all dummy data. Not the real deal—just some useless crap spat out of their test systems. Allegedly, the so-called hackers waltzed in waving CSV files full of bogus logins and pretend passwords like they just robbed Fort Knox, when in reality, it’s the digital equivalent of breaking into an empty file cabinet labeled “Training Crap.”

NordVPN insists that no customers are screwed, no servers are compromised, and no one’s browsing history of “totally legal torrents” is out there for the world to see. They’ve even gone full tech support mode, reminding everyone that they don’t log user activity, and that the data floating around is as genuine as a Nigerian prince offering you Bitcoin.

Meanwhile, the hackers are probably somewhere sniffing their own farts, thinking they’ve pulled off the con of the century. Reality check, lads: if you’re going to fabricate stolen data, at least make it look believable. This crap wouldn’t fool my toaster, let alone a seasoned sysadmin.

In short, NordVPN says it’s all safe and sound, the attackers are full of hot air, and the rest of us are left rolling our eyes, waiting for the next “massive leak” that turns out to be more bullshit than backup logs after a power outage.

Reminds me of the time a manager screamed at me for “losing” customer data when his brilliant ass had saved it to his USB drive—then reformatted it. Yeah, sure mate, blame the tech. Some things never bloody change.
