@Demonslayer20111 "do some research" - okay, when was the last time you checked their servers to make sure no logs were saved?

@Demonslayer20111 okay, when was the last time you whitehat hacked their servers yourself?

@13n1304 You're taking this too literally. The X only needs to get lucky once and the Y needs to be lucky every time is just a figure of speech.

@Demonslayer20111 so you're receiving information from "forums" and not looking into it first hand. You're not doing research, you're trusting some guy who for all we know, could have been paid by NordVPN to say they're not storing data. Also, your "research" hinges on NordVPN having security not good enough to resist whitehat hackers. This means that blackhats will have access to information NordVPN claims they aren't storing. So you can trust NordVPN, but you can't trust them with your information because it's easily stolen.

@Demonslayer20111 even if they don't technically "store" anything all your data goes through them. What you're saying is like having a computer with a fresh windows install and saying you are immune to hackers because you're only using Microsoft Edge to browse the web and don't save anything on the drive. Your computer actually downloads the data and saves it temporarily so the browser can access the data and display it to you. If you have a hacker intruding on your computer he can see everything you do even if all the temporary data is wiped after you're done. So if you count on a VPN to be hackable so you can verify it's not storing or selling your data, you can count on hackers being able to read everything that goes through the VPN and essentially make it useless. "Nothing is totally secure" - saying that nothing is secure is very different from essentially saying that you depend on VPNs being so permeable any white hat can tell what they're doing. There's a big difference between a company that has teams of skilled hackers spend 5 years to find a breach, and a business that sells its service as a security measure being so security averse that they let anyone hack into it.

@fluffybunny7089 "Hacking a VPN gives an attacker access to the same amount of information an ISP would have" - that's scary enough for me, considering that one of the selling points of VPNs is being able to hide your activity from even your ISP.

@fluffybunny7089 "the hackers would have a hard time matching your internet information with your personal information" - isn't the fact that it's easy to match internet information with personal information the whole point of getting a VPN?

@Cheeseypoofs85 well, not even those are safe. That's why if you want to hack people in the US, you rent servers in Russia or something.

I wish Al Gore invented Internet 2 instead of scamming African people.
