TECH CRUNCH – June 4 – A security lapse at JCrush left a database open without a password, exposing sensitive user records and private messages to anyone who knew where to look. None of the data was encrypted. The records contained the user's name, gender, email address, IP address and geolocation, as well as their city, state and country, date of birth, sexual preferences, religious denomination and photos they use on JCrush. The records also show the user's Facebook ID, which points directly to their Facebook profile. It also includes the access token, which can be used to take over a JCrush user's account without needing their password. JCrush's parent company, Northsight Capital, said it was "aware" of the situation and "secured the database immediately when the problem occurred."

JCrush Is Tinder For The Jews
THEJC.COM – Apr 3 – JCrush works just like Tinder. Users sign up to view photos of other people living in their area. They are then able to rate them by clicking on icons with the options: Oy Vey! (forget it) Maybe, (I need time to think) or Crush (let’s date). If someone else viewing their photos also chooses Crush, the two are put in contact. The app launched a month ago and has been downloaded 5K times.
