I'm sorry to hear that. Here is a page about us and who is behind it: https://www.ircrelay.com/about https://www.ircrelay.com/about A high level overview of how it works: When you sign up, we provision a private ZNC installation on EC2 for you. It is multi-tenant, but we leverage various mechanisms for security: passwords are one-way hashed, each ZNC process runs as a separate unix user for each IRCRelay user, file permissions are such that no other ZNC user can read another users config even if there was an exploit, etc. As for the payment: We only wanted to sign up people who were serious about using the service, and asking for payment details up front is a way to do this. All payments are done through stripe, and we don't see the CC details, ever. Your card is not charged until after the 30 day trial, and we send a warning email a few days prior so you can cancel your account if you're not happy. But thanks for checking it out!
