What are the Risks of using Proxy Servers?

We are using Proxy Server in order to Protect your Privacy. But
sometimes this proxy can be danger for your Privacy and Confidential
data. Here I listed the risks of Proxy servers.
Confidential Data at a Risk:
I hope you read my article about How the proxy server is working ?
While using Proxy IP Address, your personal information passes
through Proxy Servers. Owner of Proxy can steal your Confidential
Data(like Credit Card details, Email accounts...), if he wants. Do not
ever do banking transactions using a proxy server if you do not know
who owns the proxy site.
Phishing:
Some Malicious Proxy can bring you to fake webpage(Phishing
webpage). So your account can be hijacked.
Some websites hate :
Some proxy servers IP are banned in certain websites. So you will not
be able to access those websites using this proxy. This is not a risk
though.
