“HMA relied on our offensive security team’s talents to focus more on privacy violations that could be present via the VPN client software.

“For years, VerSprite’s Research & Offensive Security teams have found numerous zero day vulnerabilities and risks in VPN software,” said Tony UcedaVélez, CEO of VerSprite. This technical PIA follows other security penetration testing efforts by VerSprite on HMA VPN.

The objective was to identify, report, and provide recommendations for any technical gaps related to HMA’s no-logging policy.

VerSprite applied a privacy-focused threat model to encompass manual assessment techniques aimed at identifying where privacy violation risks may be present within the HMA clients. VerSprite’s technical PIA covered HMA clients for Android, iOS, Mac, and Windows, and ran from the installation process through the entire data flow of the in-scope endpoint applications. The introduction of the no-logging policy earlier this year and now the third-party audit forms part of a broader initiative by HMA to become a privacy champion for people around the world. The assessment, which categorised risk level on a scale of low to critical, included analyses of data, traffic, and storage on both the client and server-side, and the disconnection of user identities with data containing information about online user activity. 5, 2020 /PRNewswire/ - HMA VPN, the net neutrality and anti-censorship company, has been awarded a low risk user privacy impact rating for its no-logging policy following an independent review by cyber-risk consulting firm VerSprite.
