 Create a class `ConfigProtector` that provides a method to hide sensitive data in a configuration file using `Regex`. The method should replace sensitive values with asterisks. The configuration file will be provided as a string, and the keys for the sensitive data will be given in a list.
 
+The config file format will always be as follows:
+```
+username=admin
+npassword=secret
+...
+```
+
 ### Expected Class
 
 ```java
 import java.util.List;
+import java.util.regex.Matcher;
+import java.util.regex.Pattern;
 
 public class ConfigProtector {
     public String hideSensitiveData(String configFile, List<String> sensitiveKeys) {
