German cyber group Zerforschung has issued a warning that doesn’t beat around the bush. The blog post detailing its concerns with Hive Social is pretty to the point: Warning: do not use Hive Social. We thought we’d take a look at what they’re saying.
The issues we reported allow any attacker to access all data, including private posts, private messages, shared media and even deleted direct message
@AkomoCombine all rushing to try catch the fallout from the big sites
@ecksmc Thanks for this! I’ve got some friends I need to share this with.
@ecksmc good to know
I dumped it yesterday, because despite using their option to not see 🍆 pics, my suggested feed was 🍆 pics. Never even posted anything.
It's Iike a weird mutant child of Grindr & Pinterest, but with even less interaction.
@EelGM yeah i saw that kinda why i went searching to see what was really going on in the hive
lol
Yikes! @ecksmc
@ecksmc
In the amount of time it took for the admins of Hive Social to respond to the urgent bug report, @th3j35t3r could have coded an entirely new site feature and launched it. Without security vulnerabilities.
@ecksmc Well the social media wars are off to a roaring start!
Right out the frying pan into the fire
