Israel bought ExpressVPN

The claim that "Israel bought ExpressVPN" is partially true but requires clarification. ExpressVPN was acquired by Kape Technologies, a cybersecurity firm that operates in both the UK and Israel. The acquisition, valued at approximately $936 million, was announced in September 2021. While Kape Technologies is associated with Israel, it is important to note that it is a UK-listed company, and the acquisition was not a direct purchase by the Israeli government or an Israeli entity in isolation. The sources indicate that Kape Technologies aims to expand its customer base and enhance its portfolio of privacy and security services through this acquisition. However, the framing of the claim as "Israel bought ExpressVPN" oversimplifies the situation and does not accurately reflect the nature of the transaction or the corporate structure involved.
