Group Sex App Leak Identifies Users in White House and Supreme Court

The internet is undeniably one of the greatest inventions ever created. But it has the power to be both a blessing and a curse.

As far as being a blessing, we can now communicate with anyone anywhere and at any time instantly with the click of a button. Also, many people have built their wealth from the internet and work from home.

But as a curse, there have been a lot of terrible things seen over the internet and horrible acts performed because of the internet. One thing that seems to happen occasionally is information being leaked out over the internet that should remain private and confidential.

In this case, I'm talking about an app called "3Fun" which is a group sex app for people who are seeking out multiple sex partners for threesomes.

After conducting a security audit, security firm Pen Test Partners revealed that the app was incredibly lenient in their cybersecurity measures when it comes to keeping their users' information safe and confidential.

The security audit revealed that there are MULTIPLE users who work in the White House as well as the Supreme Court.

Could you imagine one of the justices trying to have a threesome? Eww!

Fortunately, that doesn't seem to be the case, the birth year of the individual appears to be 1977.

Pen Test Partners made the effort to contact the company about the security problems,

We contacted 3fun about this on 1st July and asked them to fix the security flaws, as personal data was exposed.

They replied:

"Dear Alex, Thanks for your kindly reminding. We will fix the problems as soon as possible. Do you have any suggestion? Regards, The 3Fun Team"

The text was a little concerning: we hope it’s just poor use of English rather than us ‘reminding’ them of a security flaw that they already knew about!

They want our advice for fixing the issues? Unusual, but we gave them some free advice anyway as we’re nice. Including maybe taking the app down urgently whilst they fix stuff?

3fun took action fairly quickly and resolved the problem, but it’s a real shame that so much very personal data was exposed for so long.
