> Nord falsely blames its server provider.

I don't see anything in the article about those claims being false. Where did you get that?

From the article: "“One of the data centers in Finland we are renting our servers from was accessed with no authorization,” said NordVPN spokesperson Laura Tyrell."

I believe that would be the section they're referencing.

How does this quote demonstrate that the service provider was not at fault?

“We failed by contracting an unreliable server provider...”

They are casting blame on the provider. Providing remote access tools is not a fault. Failure by NordVPN to disable said access is the issue, yet they passed the blame on.

Okay that makes sense. I read differently, like they had fabricated the story about the service provider's management console.
