Why Your VPN May Not Be As Secure As It Claims ( krebsonsecurity.com )
Virtual private networking (VPN) companies market their services as a way to prevent anyone from snooping on your Internet usage.

Novel attack against virtually all VPN apps neuters their entire purpose ( arstechnica.com )
Pulling this off requires high privileges in the network, so if this is done by intruder you're probably having a Really Bad Day anyway, but might be good to know if you're connecting to untrusted networks (public wifi etc).

Can someone explain the "don't put all your eggs in one basket" argument to me? ( kbin.run )
