The recent surge in SuperVPN’s popularity adds to the unease surrounding the breach. Fowler highlighted that the app was trending on Twitter just last week when Pakistan blocked social media. Additionally, the ownership of SuperVPN is shrouded in ambiguity. Despite sharing the same name and having similar logos, the app is listed under different developers on the Google Play and Apple App Store platforms. SuperVPN on Google Play is credited to SuperSoft Tech, while SuperVPN for iOS, iPad, and macOS is attributed to Qingdao Leyou Hudong Network Technology Co. Moreover, references to another company named Changsha Leyou Baichuan Network Technology Co. were found among the leaked files.
Jeremiah Fowler’s investigation indicates that all entities associated with SuperVPN have connections to China, as evidenced by notes written in the Chinese language within the leaked database. However, both Qingdao Leyou Hudong Network Technology Co. and Changsha Leyou Baichuan Network Technology Co. have remained silent, failing to respond to requests for comments or provide any information regarding their ownership and location on their websites.
