Amazing. Have you by chance looked at the new update? Not that anyone should ever use this app in the first place, but I'm curious whether the massive vulnerability you discovered was fixed.

> whether the massive vulnerability you discovered was fixed. Which massive vulnerability in particular? You'll have to be more specific, haha. I confirmed the Firestore collections had some kind of server-side security rules added before publishing the post.

Yes that’s the biggest issue.

The other one is seald MITM, which they probably won’t know how to fix, IMO.

A quick search after the CEO turns out, the man is a genius: "Tanner Haas, who is an M.I.T. drop out" was a human health specialist in 2020: https://londondailypost.com/this-denver-based-startup-aims-t... ...now he is a crypto expert.

IMO you should consider putting Converso in the title of your blog post so that it shows up when people Google, as a warning. I just checked and your blog post does not come up in the results for Converso.

I had this same thought. The problems with this app are serious enough to be a danger for certain people who might rely on it (journalists for example)
