Saw this one over on /r/cybersecurity and just goes to show why you should always have healthy skepticism for new closed source applications with wild claims.

That was a terrifyingly entertaining read. Now I'm even more paranoid.
Yeah, definitely makes me think twice before trying out new apps.
That's infuriating to read, considering how much we are expected to trust the tech we bring home.
It was also fascinating from the deep dive into the app, to the company going through the stages of stupidity when caught out.
