Viral video chat application Houseparty is allegedly hacking its users, many claimed on social media. A stream of posts on social networking platform Twitter suggest that the app led attackers into compromising users’ social media, e-mail, Uber, Spotify and even online banking accounts.
What’s unclear is how exactly this happened. “BEWARE! I know I’m not the only one with this problem! A few of my friends have been hacked by @houseparty if you look at the Twitter feed!
They log into your Spotify from Russia. Get your bank details and can hack it. It’s very simple once you click agree to terms and conditions," a user tweeted.
