In a world where data protection is crucial, virtual private networks (VPNs) are often used to ensure secure access to sensitive information. However, the traditional VPN model has major flaws, both in terms of its infrastructure and its usage practices. Weaknesses of Traditional VPN The security flaws of traditional VPN are multiple. On the one hand, trust in the third-party VPN server is a major concern for many establishments, as their strength often remains unknown. Additionally, risks are exacerbated by vulnerabilities in VPN server operating systems, account takeover attacks, and advanced persistent threats, such as denial of service attacks.

In an increasingly complex digital landscape, data protection is at the heart of concerns. A recent article highlights the effectiveness of password managers in countering AI attacks on passwords.

However, password managers, although praised for their creation and management, raise questions about managing their own access. While these tools make it easy to create strong, unique passwords for each site, they also present a major vulnerability: centralization. Indeed, the compromise of a single password can open the door to AI to access all accounts, thus concentrating the risks. Especially since, if as the cited article suggests, the use of the password manager is justified by the need to protect oneself from an AI attack on one's passwords, access to the manager is...
