Mozilla periodically works with third-party organizations to complement our internal security programs and help improve the overall security of our products. During the independent audit, there were two medium and one high severity issues that were discovered. We have addressed these in this <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/security\/2021\/08\/31\/mozilla-vpn-security-audit\/\">blog post <\/a>and published the <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/security\/files\/2021\/08\/FVP-02-report.final_.pdf\">security audit report<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/blog\/2020\/07\/15\/mozilla-puts-its-trusted-stamp-on-vpn\/\">our launch last year, Mozilla VPN<\/a>, our fast and easy-to-use <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mozilla.org\/en-US\/products\/vpn\/more\/what-is-a-vpn\/\">Virtual Private Network<\/a> service, has expanded to seven countries including Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Spain and Switzerland adding to a total of 13 countries where <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mozilla.org\/en-US\/products\/vpn\/?utm_campaign=mozilla-vpn-v1-0-announcement&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_source=blog.mozilla.org\">Mozilla VPN<\/a> is available.
