Security researchers have found that certain dating apps, including BDSM People, CHICA, TRANSLOVE, PINK, and BRISH, had publicly assessable “secrets” published together with the apps’ codes. The “secrets” include sensitive information such as API keys, passwords, and encryptions keys. Ultimately, bad actors gained access to these apps and exposed approximately 1.5 million user photos, including profile photos, public posts, profile verification images, photos removed for rule violations, and private photos sent through direct messages.1
