If someone uses vpns for anything other than region locked content then that’s not very smart.
It’s one big security risk and no attacks are necessary for some vpn company tech to sell your data. Hell I’d do it myself to a highest bidder, sorry.
It’s like walking naked around some stranger’s house and trusting them to close their eyes.
Encrypted VPN tunnels are ubiquitous in many industries for remote connection to private clouds. They are used by virtually every high functioning company in the world, and getting more common for mid and lower tier companies as well.
I am thinking more in the vein of piracy or hacking not some business stuffs
Are you saying it's smarter to not use a VPN for piracy?
