Last week, officials from Grindr (the gay location-based hook-up app) confirmed to Gizmodo that accounts belonging to a “small number of primarily Australian users” had been compromised and some details placed on a since-taken down website. The SMH broke the story, and is now reporting that to date, no complaint has been filed against the “hacker” – one ‘Mr Nasty’, who was 18 when this all went down around July last year. [SMH]
How’s your Friday night going? If you’re planning to hook-up or get flirty tonight via those Grindr (LGBT) or Blendr (straight) location-based hook-up apps – and hey, Grindr alone has around 100,000 Aussie members — heads up: the SMH says hackers have found a way to impersonate users and log-into your account.
