Unsurprisingly, it seems like the type of people who shun vaccinations are not great at preventative cybersecurity either.<\/p>\n

As reported by the Daily Dot<\/em><\/a>, \u201cUnjected\u201d \u2014 a dating site specifically for people who are not vaccinated against COVID-19 \u2014 failed to take basic precautions to keep users\u2019 data secure, leaving sensitive data exposed and allowing potentially anyone to become a site administrator.<\/p>\n

The \u201cUnjected\u201d site was set up to leave the administrator dashboard fully accessible to anyone who knew how to look for it. Through this dashboard, an administrator could access user information for any member of the site, including name, date of birth, email address, and (if provided) their home address.<\/p>\n

The configuration error was discovered by a security researcher known as GeopJr, who confirmed the vulnerability to the Daily Dot<\/em> by editing live posts on the site. GeopJr apparently noticed that the site had been published live to the web with \u201cdebug mode\u201d switched on \u2014 a special set of features for software developers to use while working on the app, which should never be enabled by default in an application that has been deployed.<\/p>\n

Using these features, the researcher was able to make almost any change to the site, including adding or removing pages, offering free subscriptions for paid-tier services, or even deleting the entire database of post backups. Currently, the site is believed to have around 3,500 users, all of whose data was accessible through the administrator features.<\/p>\n

Though its user base is small, Unjected seems to have big ambitions for building connections among the unvaccinated community. Besides providing dating services, Unjected also offers a \u201cfertility\u201d section where users can offer their semen, eggs, or breastmilk for donation. In another section of the website, users can also sign up for a \u201cblood bank\u201d by listing their location and blood type. Both the blood bank and the fertility services are branded as helping users find \u201cmRNA-free\u201d donors \u2014 a reference to the mRNA molecules used in the Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines.<\/p>\n

The Unjected website is now one of the main portals for the project after the Unjected app was booted from the Apple App Store<\/a> in August 2021 for violating Apple\u2019s COVID-19 content policies. However, Android users can still download the app if they want: it\u2019s currently still listed on the Google Play store, where it has more than 10K downloads and an average review of 2.5 stars.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
