I believe that the title should be changed because: "In late 2012 Sagi acquired the start-up company Crossrider for $US 37M." [1]

That alone tells you that Kape's (or rather, Crossrider's current owner) had nothing to do with their past actions, and could be therefore considered libel.

Moreover, post that someone linked with all the proof is pretty much a lot of FUD, and while I'm not happy with the sale, I fail to see any actual proof being brought up.

Whoa, whoa. You're the one misleading people here. Sagi (a person) purchased Crossrider outright for $37M then RENAMED Crossrider to Kape.

It's even more clear that the Crossrider "Adtech" (read Adware) was produced by the very same company Crossrider which is now called Kape. They are one in the same.

> current owner had nothing to do with their past actions, and could be therefore considered libel.

I'm not sure that follows. When you buy a company, one of the things you're acquiring is that company's reputation -- for better or worse.

But the title of the thread insinuates that Kape is known for distributing malware, not the company it had acquired. I personally believe that there's a big difference between saying: "PIA bought by company that also acquired a company known for distributing malware" and straight out claiming that PIA's acquirer distributes or has distributed malware at some point in time.

Kape _is_ Crossrider. Crossrider was renamed Kape and a new CEO was put in place to "exit the advertising market" transitioning to cyber security.
