Security News > 2020 > April > Google removes Android VPN with ‘critical vulnerability’ from Play Store

Google has removed an Android VPN program from the Google Play store after researchers notified it of a critical vulnerability.

VPNpro, a company that reviews and advises on VPN products, warned in February of a vulnerability in the product that could cause a man in the middle attack, enabling an intruder to insert themselves between the user and the VPN service.

What this VPN app has done is to leave its users, people seeking extra privacy and security, to actually have less privacy and security than if they'd used no VPN at all.

Instead, it notified the Google Play Security Reward Program, operated for Google by HackerOne.

SuperVPN wasn't the only Android VPN to raise VPNpro's concerns.
