NordVPN has been known to suppress a lot of information about themselves - even the country in which they operate.
Given C7 is involved as well I’m very confident it’s true.

I imagine it's good marketing. They sponsor a lot of Youtube videos.

Reading the parent pdf vs Nord's response [0] I'm slightly more inclined to believe Nords version of events here...
