iOS fitness app Fitify exposes 138K user private photos
Briefly

Fitify exposed 373,000 files, including 138,000 user-uploaded progress photos, through an unsecured Google cloud storage bucket. These progress photos often displayed users in minimal clothing, raising privacy concerns. The private user data was accessible without any passwords or security keys, making it highly vulnerable. Additionally, the app contained hardcoded secrets that could potentially allow attackers to access more sensitive user data, despite promises of encrypted data transmission made in its Google App store description.
