6 Apr
Summary
- Malwarebytes VPN source code and servers were audited.
- Audit confirmed zero evidence of user data logging.

Malwarebytes has achieved a new benchmark in VPN privacy by completing its first independent, third-party security audit. The company provided its source code and server configurations to X41 D-Sec for a comprehensive review.
This deep-dive assessment, conducted over two months, aimed to verify Malwarebytes' commitment to a no-logs policy. Auditors confirmed that the VPN's technical architecture is consistent with its privacy promises. Crucially, the audit found zero evidence of user activity logging.
While the audit confirmed the systems are at a good security level, it did identify vulnerabilities. Malwarebytes collaborated with X41 D-Sec to address these issues, including a critical vulnerability, demonstrating a commitment to proactive security.
This move positions Malwarebytes as a verified privacy defender in the competitive VPN market, offering concrete proof of user data protection. The company emphasizes that trust in cybersecurity should be based on evidence, not just claims.
