While I have no way to verify the authenticity of this story, the lesson to take home is that a provider that was keeping logs in 2011, is likely to do the so in the future, no matter what they are claiming. Try to avoid being lured by providers who offer cheap prices and large availability of countries, this usually comes at a price of your privacy. Remember that only a small amount of cases actually reach the media.
