This article, which I found in @zackwhittaker’s most excellent newsletter that you should absolutely subscribe to, is extremely interesting: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2026-02-19/vpn-used-by-us-government-failed-to-stop-china-state-sponsored-hackers

It’s behind a paywall and I totally do NOT recommend you use a website like removepaywall.com (using option 3) to view it without having to pay. That would be just unethical. Don’t do that.

I jumped ship from LastPass as soon as they were bought by a PEF and that decision has been validated many times over since then.

@plasma4045 @zackwhittaker PE acquisitions are great for the people who get the PE money, not so great for employees or their customers.
