This is no secret, take a moment to look at Hola's own website.

http://hola.org/faq#in_whatis

"Hola is a collaborative internet -- it works by sharing the idle resources of its users for the benefit of all."

"Hola built a peer to peer overlay network for HTTP, which securely routes the sites you choose through other Hola users' devices and not through expensive servers."

This is just another reason why you should always be aware of the services that you're using, especially when it could concern your security and privacy.

It seems like the auth information has changed

I'm getting a ERROR 403: Auth Failed.

Well, that's to be expected.
