DoubleVPN Servers, Logs, and Account Info Seized By Law Enforcement

aw enforcement has seized the servers and customer logs for DoubleVPN, a double-encryption service commonly used by threat actors to evade detection while performing malicious activities.

DoubleVPN is a Russian-based VPN service that double-encrypts data sent through their service.

When using the service, requests are encrypted and transmitted to one VPN server, which sends it to another VPN server, which finally connects to the final destination, as shown below.
