Hola! Better internet - "Sells Your Bandwidth, Turning Its VPN into a Botnet"

Hiya

Just in case you missed it:

The operator of 8chan says the bandwidth of millions of Hola users is being sold for reuse, with some of it even being used to attack his site. Speaking with TorrentFreak, Hola founder Ofer Vilenski says that users' idle resources are indeed utilized for commercial sale, but that has been the agreement all along

I think its because of this:

Update: It appears that Hola only recently changed/edited their FAQ to add in the details about Luminati. We have asked the company to tell us exactly when those changes were made. Updates when they arrive.

I guess many users didnt really fully understood consequences of using Hola - like their bandwith being sold to anyone for example
