Why do they seem sketchy to you?

I could start with the always 70% off promo.

You don't like the work of their marketing team, but what is sketchy about their product?

First of all when you always have 70% off it's false advertisement. They also lied in the first place about the hack. It's a marketing company with a VPN as it's side project.

The marketing don't say much about the quality of the product, also most serious companies will wait until their security vulnerability is fixed and non existent on any of their servers until disclosing it to the world, it often takes a proper security testing of the system, which takes time. Sounds like a good thing to do.

I have no idea why you are trying to defend NordVPN? Please explain yourself. They mislead the consumer and correct me if I'm wrong but I think it's against the law in a lot of countries.
