Is My IP Hider VPN safe?
My IP Hider VPN transmits user account passwords in plaintext in URL query strings and stores them unencrypted in local extension storage.
When a user extends their subscription, the extension constructs a URL containing their plaintext email and password as GET parameters and opens it in a new tab, exposing credentials in browser history and server access logs. The extension also persists the plaintext password to chrome.storage.local under the key 'v1_profile' on every login, where it remains readable by any code with access to that storage.

Shared hosts - 1 hostname
Hostnames hardcoded in this extension that few other listings call. That can mean one operator behind both, and it can equally mean a small shared vendor, so it is context rather than a conclusion. Hosts that many listings call are left out: they are services, not connections.

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed My IP Hider VPN contacting. Sending data somewhere is not a finding on its own - an extension that syncs your settings has to talk to its own server - but it is where your data can go, and who else it goes to.
