The Chinese Vpn iOs app presents a security risk to 8 million usersByBill Toulas-December 3, 2019.602 The creator of the app is located in Singapore, but the Vpn services are based in mainland China. The privacy policy does not keep it a secret that the app monitors its users and even uses sensors on the device. The Vpn software is known as “Vpn-Super Unlimited,” according to a Forbes report, poses a security risk to over eight million iOs users in the United States. Vpn (Virtual Private Network) apps are intended to help people stay safe and anonymous while browsing the network through tunnel encryption and bumping over servers offering a masking Ip address. Nevertheless, vendors selling these apps can theoretically eavesdrop on the data that passes through these tunnels as they are in charge of everything. In the case of the “Vpn Super Unlimited,” growth has hit an unprecedented 740 percent pace in the past twelve months. The app’s maker is “Secure Jump,” a Singaporean developer who publishes security applications for the platforms iOs and Android. The problem is that the service infrastructure of the app is actually based in mainland China according to a recent report by top10vpn. Researchers found that the specific app gathers an unusual amount of user information including location data (Ip addresses and Gps), after further analysis. The privacy policy of the app states that they share the data with authorities around the world, including those in China, to make things even more crystal clearer. “Vpn Super Unlimited” may or may not pose a security risk to the people who use it but there are all the red flags and its users should not find their privacy protected. As we have warned before free Vpn apps are free because they are looking to make money by selling your data or using you as the advertisement receiving end, or both. Many people prefer to just grab a free Vpn app from the app store instead of subscribing to a paid product, but these two groups have major differences.
