One aspect of the Data Safety section that the Play Store introduced last year is the ability to feature “Independent security reviews.” Google Play is more prominently surfacing that badge when you search for VPN apps.

Research some of the history and who owns the company etc… I would need to DuckDuckGo it myself so I leave it to you… they been having a leak for years before addressed etc… it been a while back again. All public domain for research
First hit after nordvpn leak on ddg

But most of all the referral commission they pay… together with express everyone recommend it for the referral commission… make a research and you find out why. IVPN and Mullvad need no IP logs no email etc… that’s the once I would recommend
I'll be honest, after reading that article, it does seem a bit frustrating how they handled their leak, but it also doesn't give a compelling argument for calling it "one of the worst". There have been far worse providers, including providers that have not even been a true VPN. Or providers who don't protect you from DNS leaks.
While I don't condone security breaches, they happen (I'm a 25 year IT veteran myself, and currently in cybersecurity and systems management). I don't use NordVPN myself but one of their competitors for many years now. I truly couldn't care less about their ads since I never see them, I only care about the security of the connection. At this time, I only know of this one breach of essentially one server, but they are doing pretty much everything right in investigating and fixing things so it would never happen in the same way again.
From that article, even after they documented NordVPN's findings and their own findings, they still gave them a score of 4/5. That's a far cry from "one of the worst" as you put it.
Yes, I could search for it too, but I was asking you specifically. It sounds like you might just have a grudge against their ads, but hey I get it, ads suck. Literally the only ad I ever get for them is from in-video ads from Harry Mack, but he freestyles them soooooo I'm pretty okay with those.
