To VPN users: VPN is not as secure as we might think!
I just logged into Jennings Citrus to register a new account, so I clicked on register a new account, and someone else's account came up as currently logged in as "someone else" with full account information.
That means that the stored IP address at jennings with the account information is not unique enough to be secure, as my laptop was assigned the same IP address as the one which "someone else" had registered with. So the VPN does not have enough addresses to guarantee a secure one with the vendor's with whom you have saved your information. . . or that you are still logged in after thinking you are completed.
So please, do not save any financial information on web sites, even is using VPN, and log out and close your browser after every transaction. . .
never allow your browser to save your password. . . . always type it in each time, except for some non transactional web sites, without payment identification.
That's how your credit card can be stolen. . . even though you have never left the house.

who did email the "someone else" to let him know the risk to his account.
