    Anyone who understands just how insecure nearly every mobile app is know better than to put their personal data on them

    Unfortunately that number is vanishingly small and we get called rude things like ‘luddite’ for our actions.

    So the rest of the idiot world just blindly gives all their personal information to anyone who asks for it but comes to people like me to fix it when their service inevitably gets breached

    Spend 1/3 more on QC and this wouldn’t happen but you need that fucking money for marketing don’t you you ignorant dipshits

      1/3 of zero is still zero. They literally put it in a public bucket this wasn’t a coding mistake this was a fundamental complete refusal to take safety seriously.

      They basically set their own building on fire and then went “oh no the building caught fire, how could that possibly have happened”

    was really hoping this would be posts that got leaked, there’s a lot of dudes out there who just caught strays on these apps.

    but no, it’s just user data and the best thing that the “leakers” could think of to do with it was make a website where you can rank the profile verification selfies. amazing work, that will show em.

      This is because everyone in this story is an awful person. The idiot who uploaded the photos posted it to 4chan so you can tell the type of person they are. Meanwhile the app developers are awful people because they literally couldn’t be bothered to do any kind of security.

          Someday soon somebody’s going to try and use that as a defence in court.
