Audio-based social app Clubhouse has allegedly suffered a data breach, as a third-party developer designed an open-source app that allowed Android smartphone users to access the invite-only, iPhone-only service, SiliconANGLE has reported. The app, which launched in March 2020, has quickly gained popularity, raising $100 million in funding in January.
According to SiliconANGLE, a programmer in mainland China designed and made available open-source code on GitHub, owned by Microsoft Corp. since 2018. The developer said the app was designed to allow anyone to listen to audio on Clubhouse without an invite code, with access to various personal sessions.
