Tests indicate that every VPN product is vulnerable on at least one device, the researchers say. VPNs for iPhones, iPads, MacBooks, and macOS are extremely likely to be vulnerable, that a majority of VPNs on Windows and Linux are vulnerable, and that Android is the most secure with roughly one-quarter of VPN apps being vulnerable.

Could you give an example of what this looks like? I'm sure I'll have friends sending me similar articles / YouTube videos. Would be nice to have a simple and accurate analogy
