    Tldr: Someone can guess reasonably where you are by sending you a glitched friend request notification on your phone that tells the hacker what data center you’re closest to.

    It is pretty clever but I wouldn’t call it full deanonymizing, should still get patched though.

    good find by the tester.

    Edit: used the term ‘glitch’ for simplicity of people reading, didn’t mean to upset people; I’m just an amateur.











  • There was a term I really liked for this kind of things: “Vacationing in poverty” I think, where people with wealth ‘adventure’ being homeless or something but don’t even remotely appreciate that the people they’re pretending to be don’t have an ‘off’ switch or an easy out of their situations.

    I find the whole premise despicable.
