Why would your ISP monitor keys without reason? They might target anyone simply because it’s easier than losing card details. Instead of sudden charges, they could steadily increase costs over time. Only those without the means to handle gradual payments would consider such actions for profit.
Internet remains an insecure environment, making it easy for hackers to access data. However, using a reliable VPN service can help protect your information and ensure safety. Before choosing a VPN provider, review their terms and policies carefully. Yes, I’ve been using Acevpn without encountering such problems so far.
I don't fully understand how VPNs function, so please verify my understanding. I do know something about HTTPS—it secures your data using asymmetric encryption with two keys, one of which isn't encrypted. If a VPN could intercept all data from your PC to the server, they might access the unencrypted key? That seems unlikely.
Several companies like Target and Equafax experienced breaches, exposing personal information publicly. A VPN wouldn’t have prevented these incidents. The Target case in particular remains unclear about how card details were compromised. Typically, such hacks stem from careless IT personnel or under-resourced departments failing to safeguard data properly.
