Normally I would probably just laugh about this but …

Cybernews researchers have uncovered a massive data exposure tied to Headero, a hookup app popular in queer and alternative dating circles.

Its not a good time to have your sexuality exposed to the wide public… it was only last week that a popular tv voice actor was shot in the face, most likely because of his sexuality.

Over four million private records were found unsecured, including explicit chat logs, group messages, and detailed profile information, such as STD status and sexual preferences.

The most alarming part is that users’ precise GPS locations were also exposed

oh man, that is not good at all!

Childish take: man that sucks

Serious take: fuck them for endangering their users like that! This should have business ending, as well as personal consequences for the company and people involved. There’s very real potential for people getting seriously harmed by this 🤬
