The unprotected server recorded text messages, images, and videos, enabling real-time messaging between users and “AI interlocutors.” The captured data included both real photos and videos of users and materials created using artificial intelligence. Cybernews researchers emphasized that much of this content does not meet professional requirements.
This incident became known just the other day and, as observers note, shows the discrepancy between users’ trust in such applications and the developers’ lack of care in protecting their data. At the time of its discovery, one of the affected applications, Chattee Chat, was ranked 121st in the entertainment category in the Apple App Store. It became very popular in the US with over 300,000 installs and many positive reviews. The second app, GiMe Chat, had far fewer users.
