Whether it\u2019s OKCupid, Tinder or Plenty of Fish people are looking to make connections through their devices. But what happens when those devices are not entirely their own?<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"https:\/\/www.ibm.com\/us\/en\/\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ibm.com\/us\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\">IBM<\/a> has conducted a study where they exploited vulnerabilities on 26 out of the 41 dating apps on Android\u2019s Google Platform. Just because they only researched Android does not meant that these security risks don\u2019t exists in other operating systems as well. In addition, they also reported that 50 percent of the BYOD devices in the companies surveyed have dating apps installed on them.<\/p>\n<p>These \u201cmedium to high\u201d security risks could potentially activate the end-user\u2019s microphone and leak GPS data which would risk private and corporate security. It is reported that IBM did not release the names of the apps, but did notify their developers so they could fix the issues if they choose to.<\/p>\n<p>According to an <a title=\"https:\/\/thestack.com\/ibm-dating-apps-android-security-110215\" href=\"https:\/\/thestack.com\/ibm-dating-apps-android-security-110215\" target=\"_blank\">article written by Martin Anderson for The Stack<\/a>, the vulnerability of dating apps on Android reared its head in September of 2014 when researchers from the University of New Haven identified security weaknesses in social apps including Tinder, Grindr, OKCupid, Instagram and Oovoo.<\/p>\n<p>Most of the risk comes from \u201cphishing\u201d-style messages, or spam messages that will ask for sensitive information or allow the installation of malware.<\/p>\n<p>One of the biggest drawbacks of BYOD has always been security and the vulnerability of users downloading corrupted apps that could compromise corporate data. It\u2019s well within the user\u2019s rights to download personal apps, but at the same time the corporation has the right to tell them what apps they can\u2019t be downloading because of security issues.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today it\u2019s hard to find someone, especially in their 20\u2019s or 30\u2019s, who doesn\u2019t have a dating app on their phone.
