    Why would *VPN even have ANY data worth taking through breaching?

      Same reason as any other online company?

        So for selling it to aggregators? That’s bad practice for a VPN-providing company.

          So for selling it to aggregators?

          You really think thats the primary function for user data? Not like, billing?

            Billing? ID -> balance. “Very” important data for hackers. They had more? Like card numbers, names, addresses, etc? That’s a bad practice for VPN providers.

                The customer can notify ID during payment.
