The “Clubhouse” voice chatting app, on Sunday, resolved allegations that its user data had been pirated by “hackers”.
The chief executive of the application, Paul Davison, said that the report alleging that the user’s personal data had been leaked “false”, according to the site, “The Verge”.
The site “Cyber News” claimed that it was published with a SQL database (a structural query language) containing 1.3 million user records in the “Clubhouse” for free in an online pirate forum.
Among the leaked data were the usernames, links to their photos, the number of followers, the number of people followed by the users, and the date the accounts were created.
According to the report, “sensitive user information such as credit card numbers appears to have not been among the information leaked.”
And Paul Davison confirmed, on Sunday, that the “Clubhouse” platform had not been exposed to a data breach, saying: “No, this is misleading and wrong, we have not been hacked.”
He explained that the data referred to in the reports are “all public profile information from our” Clubhouse “application, so the answer to that is” no “, and it is” final “.
The rumor of “Clubhouse” being exposed to piracy comes just two days after it was discovered that the personal data of some 533 million Facebook users had been leaked over the Internet for free. The leak reportedly included users’ phone numbers, birthdays, websites, e-mail addresses and full names.
The “Clubhouse” application achieved remarkable success in the first year of its release, although it only works by directing private invitations and is only available on “iPhones”, as it witnessed more than 10 million downloads, which prompted competing sites such as “Facebook” and Twitter, LinkedIn, Sotify and Slack to work on launching their own social voice platforms.
