Has Mullvad ever been given a court order to reveal personal info about a user?
I've been reading through Signal's government requests and couldn't find a similar section on Mullvad's website. I'd be curious to read about them if there are any. It would seem unlikely to me that Mullvad has never received any kind of court order for information about a user.
You're viewing a single thread.
Yup, Swedish police issued a search warrant and raided Mullvads offices last year. They left empty handed as Mullvad does not retain ANY customer data.
They even stopped allowing customers to pay with credit card recurring payments because they didn't want to store customer payment info that could harm their users.
I currently pay Mullvad with a recurring charge on my credit card.
They brought it back? That's concerning
They realized banning convenience is bad for business. You can still pay in private ways
When they announced it, they said it would be bad for business, but that they valued their customers privacy more than the cost it would cause in lost business.
Once their servers are unplugged they lose all value. While their online and running that could be a different story.
servers unplugged
Or they can do a cold boot attack
Possible but with physical access needed. Which makes things much more difficult. At least for servers under Mulls control vs rented servers from a provider in each locale.
