SkyVPN - Really a C2 threat?

[djr]

Hi, I have just spotted a treat alert of SkyVPN C2 traffic (ID 18871) in my logs and looked at the entry on the Threat Vault.  This seems to be quite an old detection but when I looked around for any further information regarding SkyVPN, I couldn't see anything referring to it as a known threat; just a cheap domestic VPN.

Does anyone have any knowledge of this as a threat?

Thanks

David

Hi,

I do not know of it specifically as a threat, but I have personally always been distrustful of these cheap VPN providers, there are several that are simply there to harvest user information and this could well be one of them, would be interesting to see if any further info can be found.
