Subject: Grindr accounts could be easily hacked with email address
Written By: Philip Eno on 10/05/20 at 6:28 am
A hack on Grindr allowed anyone with the email address linked to a valid account to reset the user's password and take over their profile. Security experts revealed the vulnerability online - and reported it the LGBT dating app. It enabled full access to an individual's account, including images, messages and HIV status. Grindr said: "Thankfully, we believe we addressed the issue before it was exploited by any malicious parties." The flaw was discovered by French security researcher Wassime Bouimadaghene and documented by security experts Troy Hunt and Scott Helme.
