If You've Installed SuperVPN, Delete It Right Now!

Despite going viral with 100 million installations, SuperVPN also has flaws that are considered extremely dangerous. Provided by TechRadar, on March 19 there had been a collaboration between VPNPro and Google, making it a part of the Google Play Security Reward Program, which was also when the company enabled the validation of its flaws.

The app has been removed from the Google Play Store, but if your Android phone still has it, you still should delete it immediately.

It is said by VPNPro that SuperVPN (free) has potential risks in letting man-in-the-middle gain access to the system through its flaws. So what does man-in-the-middle mean? It is a situation when hackers can easily step into communications then lead you to their servers instead of the original ones.

There were attempts from Google and VPNPro in approaching the owners of SuperVPN - SuperSoftTech - to fix the vulnerability, but it seemed impossible. On April 7, Google decided to delete the app from the Play Store.

If you still question SuperVPN’s popularity, its number of downloads is almost similar to Tinder’s.

The first issue of VPN was revealed by one of its owners, who said that its package of data had a key that helped to decrypt the information. This contained an allowance for VPNPro to have its own server data taken at the place of SuperVPN’s.

One more issue was that some information went through an unsecured and unencrypted HTTP. Therefore, your communications will easily be read by strangers.

Although SuperVPN had been named the third-most malware-rigged app in 2016, the VPN’s popularity remained. This was a result of some blackout SEO tricks such as creating tons of fake reviews.

Currently, there is another version of SuperVPN available in Apple's App Store. However, as there is still a doubt about if its flaws being similar to the Android version, it is advisable for you not to install it.
