Every cheat is shady if you think about it. Its a blackmarket scene for software that isn't socially accepted. You can typically tell who is a "trust" worthy provider by their past and what they hide but even then you can never really know for certain.

Yes and no. I think you're right in some aspects such as "trust", its unlikely such a large userbase cheat would ruin their reputation but that doesn't mean it has never happened in the past.
Just because its the
most used cheat does not mean its 'trustworthy'. Just because they have a
decent reputation does not mean they have shady things inside of their cheat. Take AIMWARE for example, one of the biggest, if not THE biggest CS provider. They had hundreds of thousands of users; but they still do very phishy stuff such as logging all your Steam accounts, hardware, directories, full names, etc.. Its debatable whether or not those are fishy but the fact of the matter is they were never open about this.
People only ever found out when the AIMWARE database got leaked that AIMWARE was collecting so much info on their users. The same goes for any other provider, we will never know for sure unless their DB gets leaked or if an ex developer of said project comes forward. Compare that to when IWEBZ got leaked back in 2015, the impact it had on people was no where near as bad since they never really logged peoples info/accs, etc.. Another example would be Fatality, their cheat only ever got exposed as a RAT and spy product because someone backdoored the dev and leaked their source code.
The best step to take for any cheat is create a second Windows boot and use Bitlocker to encrypt your drivers as well as disconnecting your drives so they don't even show up on Windows. This is the most secure approach and you won't really have issues worrying about using even the most trusted providers then.
