      Having seen the internal workings of a few of these random services, not very safe at all.

      It’s not just shoddy work, or a lax security policy. There is real money to be made by being unethical, and there is nothing to stop many website owners from just selling the data. It’s not like there are consequences to selling it.

      I have a feeling this happens a lot

        Unethical actions and profits tend to go hand in hand. Have been for centuries already.

        Just think about the economics of kidnapping people in Africa and exporting them to slave camps across the ocean instead of paying white employees to do the work. How about using violence, exploitation and systemic injustice to acquire very cheap spices in Asia and transport them to Europe, and sell them for huge profits.
