PITTSBURGH, Pa., April 01, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Security researchers have found that certain dating apps, including BDSM People, CHICA, TRANSLOVE, PINK, and BRISH, had publicly assessable “secrets” published together with the apps’ codes. The “secrets” include sensitive information such as API keys, passwords, and encryptions keys. Ultimately, bad actors gained access to these apps and exposed approximately 1.5 million user photos, including profile photos, public posts, profile verification images, photos removed for rule violations, and private photos sent through direct messages.¹

Lynch Carpenter, LLP is investigating claims against BDSM People, CHICA, TRANSLOVE, PINK, and BRISH related to this data exposure. If you use or have used one of these applications, you may be entitled to compensation. Please fill out this form so that an attorney can review your case.
