![]() ![]() "Adjustments" have been made, according to him. ![]() Now according to Hola's founder, Ofer Vilenski, users of Luminati are 'screened' before they are allowed to use it, and the person who attacked a site named 8chan through it simply 'slipped through the net'. Luminati Sales Person: Our pricing model is "pay as you go" per Gigabyte, with no setup fee & no per-IP cost ranging around $1.45 to $20 per GB. This enables you to have almost unlimited number of real IP's for your use. Luminati Sales Person: Luminati is the commercial brand of - huge Peer to Peer network of consumers searching anonymously. Hola also runs another business, Luminati, that sells access to the Hola network to anybody who is willing to pay up to $20 per GB for it. They sell access to third parties, and don't care what it's used for It's how Hola is designed to work, and it cannot function without it. This is an unfixable problem, that Hola doesn't disclose transparently. And as a bonus, it'll use your bandwidth - not exactly desirable if you have a slow connection, or a low data cap. Being a Hola peer is more or less equivalent to running a Tor exit from home - something the EFF even explicitly recommends against.Īnd even if you can prove your innocence, you can still get raided and tangled up in a long legal process. The operators of "exit nodes" for the Tor anonymity network have had similar issues. To everybody else, it seems as if it was your computer that did it, and you can't really prove otherwise. However, imagine that somebody uploaded child pornography through your connection, for example. To a website, it seems like it's you browsing the site. This may sound nice, but what it actually means is that other people browse the web through your internet connection. They send traffic of strangers through your internet connection Want to know what it would've looked like if you could? Click here! 2. Good news, it looks like you can't be tracked through (your version of) Hola! We await a more transparent follow-up statement, and a real fix to the security issues. They are not comparable to the others mentioned - they are much worse. As we have pointed out from the start, the security issues with Hola are of such a magnitude that it cannot be attributed to 'oversight' rather, it's straight-out negligence. Not only that there weren't two vulnerabilities, there were six. The vulnerabilities are *still* there, they just broke our vulnerability checker and exploit demonstration. In fact, we fixed both vulnerabilities within a few hours of them being published and pushed an update to all our community. Unfortunately, it doesn't quite address the issues - many of the issues are ignored, and some claims are simply false.įor example, their statement makes the following claim: Two vulnerabilities were found in our product this past week. UPDATE (June 1, 2015): Today, Hola has finally published a statement. ![]()
