Death by UX Feedback

Front-end developers often do not consider security when developing their applications. This can have disastrous real-world consequences.

To this point, I'll demonstrate a security vulnerability in Grindr's chat feature which can cause the unintended disclosure of chat messages to third parties.

I'll finish off by explaining that corporations oftentimes don't take these vulnerabilities seriously, given that Grindr has refused to fix this vulnerability for over half a year now. These companies which serve vulnerable LGBTQIA+ audiences ought to take security more seriously.
