They were bought by Kape Technologies which used to be called Crossrider and has a history of producing malware and the owners used to work at the Israeli version of the NSA.

They were bought by Kape Technologies, an Israeli surveillance firm whose founders have ties to Unit 8200. PIA literally couldn't up a bigger red flag if they tried.
