🚨 La app Neon, que te pagaba por grabar tus llamadas para entrenar IA, sufrió una brecha de seguridad brutal: se filtraron números, audios y transcripciones. Aun así, promete volver “pronto”. ¿Privacidad? En juego. ⚠️ #IA #NeonApp

Can I get 15 Cent per toot? It's just text, but it often takes more than one minute to compose them. I consent to making them publicly available.

Damn, this story shows what people are willing to ignore and give when it's actual money, not just cookies and trackers.

Abhör-App Neon verriet alles: Offline "Neon - Money Talks" wurde schlagartig populär, weil es Geld für aufgezeichnete Telefonate versprach. Doch die landeten frei im Netz.

Also ich möchte es mal so formulieren, mein Mitleid hält sich in Grenzen. Wenn ich meine Telefonate für 15 Cent/Minute zum Training von #KI verkaufe, dann ist das nicht unbedingt der cleverste move. Aber wenn dann alles frei zugänglich im Netz landet ... #uiuiui #NeonApp

Neon's Data Disaster: How a Viral AI App Exposed 75,000 Users and Went Dark Neon's Data Disaster: How a Viral AI App Exposed 75,000 Users and Went Dark In this urgent episode of https://approov.io/podcast, we break down the spectacular rise and immediate fall of the highly controversial mobile application, Neon. The app, which recently topped the charts and went viral on platforms like TikTok, promised users payment in exchange for recording their phone calls. These recordings were then sold to AI companies for training. However, less than 24 hours after gaining widespread attention, a significant security flaw was discovered. According to reports from TechCrunch, this flaw allowed public access to extremely sensitive user data. The Security Catastrophe The call-recording app had rapidly climbed the App Store ranks, reporting 75,000 downloads in a single day. Despite its rapid growth, Neon was forced offline after the security issue was discovered by TechCrunch. The flaw was so severe that it allowed anyone utilizing a network analysis tool to access private information belonging to other users. Exposed data included: - Users' phone numbers. - Call recordings and accessible URLs to the raw audio files. - Text transcripts of the recorded calls. - Detailed metadata connected to the calls, including the phone number of the person called, the time and duration of the call, and the amount earned from the call. The Company Response Following the discovery, Neon founder Alex Kiam sent an email to customers notifying them of the app's temporary shutdown. Kiam stated that they were taking the app down to "add extra layers of security" because "Your data privacy is our number one priority". However, it is crucial to note that the email failed to warn users about the specific security issue or that their phone numbers, call recordings, and transcripts had been exposed. TechCrunch noted that although the app's servers were taken down, rendering the app useless, it remained available in the App Store. If Neon does make a comeback, it will certainly receive increased scrutiny regarding its security protocols.
