DAILYMAIL.CO.UK – A major data breach in the ‘Gay Daddy’ dating app exposed ~50K user profiles, including names, private photos, HIV status, messages, and location data. Security researchers found the app’s Firebase database was unprotected and easily accessible due to poor coding practices. The breach puts users at risk of blackmail, exploitation, and even physical harm, especially in countries where homosexuality is criminalized. Though the developer has since fixed the leak, they have not responded to inquiries. Similar issues were found in other LGBT and kink dating apps, suggesting widespread security flaws across the App Store.
