Batu69 Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 The Transparency Report 2015 offers insights of various requests to disclose the identity of CyberGhost’s users, even though the company does not keep logs. In the report, data is analyzed and correlated with different internal and external events to better understand the requests and the importance of privacy to CyberGhosts users. The requests received by law enforcement agencies, police offices, and websites owners or individuals and law firms around the world have been grouped in three categories: DMCA complaints, police requests and malware activity complaints. Compared to the previous year, the number of DMCA requests has decreased with an average of -21% over the past 12 months, receiving an average of 1,318 requests per month. Although the user base has seen a growth of 60%, the number of received police requests has declined to -24% with an average of only 6 requests per month. On a global scale, the reported malicious activities in CyberGhost’s network have increased significantly with 310% from an average of 99 per month in 2014 to 407 per month in 2015. Substantial increases of malicious activities have been also reported by security companies such as Kaspersky Lab, Trend Micro, Cisco and Symantec. CyberGhost has taken several measures to reduce the number of abuses committed on the service such as analyzing the ports used for torrent streaming and blocking them in countries where specific laws exist. To stop malware activities, CyberGhost has blocked access to the attacked IP’s so any further attack would be impossible since most of the complaints are specifying the source of the attacks as well as the victim’s IP. These measures are also linked to the pressure put on datacenter owners by authorities and law firm representatives. The transparency report also includes data about US, German, UK, Pakistan and Turkey; censorship and its impact on VPN usage; influence of wealth on privacy in various regions of the world; encryption as a digital weapon in the 21st century and other relevant information about privacy.

Holmes Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 The malicious activities need to stop this is pathetic I mean this is a vpn not tor vpn is not as good as tor and tor users have been tracked why risk it with a vpn. I have family members that may try to track me and people I have met that I dont talk to now that may try to track me (some have some computer knowledge and some dont the ones that dont could meet someone with computer knowledge those are the people Im talking about). I want cyberghost to stay the way it is and with users abusing it makes the company think about changing its ways I dislike these f*ckers .
