Frequently Asked Questions

What is eavesdropping, is that like hacking?

FAQ's
Not exactly. Eavesdropping is the intentional interception of data (like e-mail, usernames, passwords, credit card or calling card numbers) as it passes from a user's computer to a server or vice versa. Hacking is when a system is broken into or when data is willfully manipulated (as when a company's website is defaced or a bank's server is illegally accessed). Note: VPN does not protect your computer from hacking. It only protects network traffic from eavesdroppers.
