Shocking revelation in new report
Security researcher Oversecured has claimed that many top therapy and AI therapy apps are not completely secure and they leak data and this data can be sold on the dark web. Seen this way, the entire concept of therapy apps is being compromised because therapy apps are made so that you can have private conversations with your therapist. Oversecured says that this data is being leaked due to ‘intent vulnerabilities’ and it is affecting many apps available on the Play Store.
Impact on millions of users
The report claims that these apps have been downloaded millions of times in total and the data leak is affecting millions of users. There are millions of conversations related to anxiety, depression, trauma and addiction on these apps every day, which are not as safe as the users are thinking. Oversecured has not yet revealed the names of these apps. The security researcher says that the concerned apps have been informed about these flaws and their response is still awaited. Oversecured says that till now no app developer has released a security patch to fix these flaws.
