Spoutible is leaking again.
So, you probably don't remember me mentioning this site (or if you've followed me after the fact, may not even heard of it).
As a refresher, it's one on the many Twitter alternatives that popped up after Muskrat took over.
It's also a site that after it's public launch was found to be leaving user data vulnerable. Well, another vulnerability was found recently almost exactly one year after the first one.
I still recommend you avoid this site, and if you do have an account, you may want to delete it, because the fact that this happened twice in less that two years without anyone even trying to force their way in means either they're not taking site security seriously or they're incompetent.
And before someone says 'but data breaches happen all the time,' it was not a data breach, but a leak.
To quote this article from the site UpGuard,
Data leaks are usually caused by organizations accidentally exposing sensitive data through security vulnerabilities, Such incidents are not initiated by cyberattackers. Data breaches, on the other hand, are usually the result of a cybercriminal's persistence to compromise sensitive resources.
TL;DR, if you use Spoutible, your data is very much at risk.
