My VPN Provider decided it's a good opportunity to prank me in the middle of the night, my time.

Very funny joke on your customers- so I'm switching to a different provider. It's cuz obviously I don't have a sense of humor. Life is short and all that.

Useless internet day indeed.

I'd rather not go into detail, but in short they sent an official email from their real noreply address, "signed" by their CEO, saying my data has been compromised.

"What Data?"... Click the link...

Just kidding, April Fools you stupid moron.

I replied that they've lost a customer.

They replied with a link to talk to their AI bot.
