BDSM, LGBTQ+, and sugar dating apps have been found exposing users’ private images, with some of them even leaking photos shared in private messages.
Cybernews has contacted M.A.D Mobile Apps Developers Limited for official comment, but a response has yet to be received.
I hope Cybernews reported the apps to the relevant app store, including a detailed report.
Developpers may ignore random researchers’ email, but probably wouldn’t ignore an app store that has the ability remove or until apps from its store.

It can’t be overstated how devastating this news will be for people who use these apps. People in these communities often use apps like these because it’s safer than being out and open at their physical locations and/or jobs.
