Who cares what Redditors have to say about this? I read the TC article, and I read the official Nord response. TL: DR - Verizon owns TechCrunch and Verizon owns a VPN as well. The breach that happened is very specific and does not involve any real danger to Nord users, but TechCrunch article stated the opposite without any proof. I think it's crystal clear what is going on here.
