          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.

              You are surprised that a for-profit company that bills people on a RECURRING basis for a paid service keeps card numbers and billing addresses/names? How would recurring bills be paid if the info isn’t stored?

                You are surprised

                I’m not surprised. I am accustomed to the shit around.

                How would recurring bills be paid if the info isn’t stored?

                Just go to the bank (or open your bank application on the phone) and pay.

          Uh… this entire event is a strong reason for using dummy data in a testing environment. You shouldn’t ever use production data in a test environment.

          You generate dummy data that looks like real data for testing purposes.
