If you are a nerd, nothing is stopping you from going into github and making end to end incription like the wizards you are.
@NicksWorld So people are not bothered by this, eh? Well I'm bothered by what was done, and I don't even use the app, but then I'm bothered by lack of accountability, so let's just make it the problem of people who don't care, shall we? The blind community can be just horrid sometimes, like now, excusing negligent behavior. To me, that's the ultimate in stupidity.
@Lynn At least they fixed it. Things take time to make. Your cake in the oven does not take 15 minutes to bake for no reason. Any less and it would be a mess.
@NicksWorld Right--but this should have been discovered long before release. This is not some hidden unknown flaw that the developers couldn't have expected. It's basic. So why are so many people overlooking it? I don't get that. All the developers are saying is it's fixed--no apologies, just asking people to stop talking about it. And what really bothers me beyond all that, is they're blaming the person who brought the matter out in the open. They should be thanking him. And then I read people saying ... oh, if you're upset about all this, well just take a breather from social media. And you know what, that is really a good idea--I think I need a long vacation from people like this--and I'm not even harmed by this app, and yet I care that others may have been harmed. No one knows that yet. Time will tell, if we start hearing about password unauthorized uses. And we might. Who knows?
@Lynn @NicksWorld Here's the thing. yes, missing such a flaw is bad and shouldn't have happened, but also usually that becomes a problem if it's a huge thing everyone knows about, and knows to look for that flaw too. A normal user, without tech know how wouldn't know these things. Add in it's been corrected now it's not somethign that cna be exploited now.
@ratking @NicksWorld Isn't this exactly what hackers look for? Isn't there software that can detect such things? I think it's good people know about this, and if they choose to continue to use the app, they do so knowingly.
@Lynn @NicksWorld if they see a point in trying to go for a program, yes. it takes a little time and powe rto probe most programs so they usually go for rich targets as it were.
