Android Voice Chat App With 5 Million Downloads Exposes User Data And Conversations

Popular Android voice chat app with over 5 million downloads has been leaking data including the conversations of users. The app OyeTalk uses Google’s Firebase mobile app development platform, but according to a report all the data stored on the platform was left vulnerable without any password protection. The folks at Cybernews have also noticed that most of the sensitive user data along with the API keys has been hardcoded in the app which is never a good move and leaves people to possible intrusion and data breach. The Cybernews team reached out to the developers of the voice chat app and they didn’t hear back from the company.
