A social platform that saw intense growth in a short period of time has now been forced to pull its servers offline due to a huge security bungle.
, Hive had grievous software vulnerabilities that exposed pretty much all of its users’ personal data to the internet. A cybercriminal aware of the bugs would have been able to steal Hive users’ kit and caboodle—everything from private messages to registered account information. Researchers claim the bugs were so serious that they refrained from sharing technical details about them—fearing that hackers would exploit them.
After a couple of days, researchers decided to publish their findings, labeling their blog “Warning: do not use Hive Social.” It was only after the research went live that Hive publicly acknowledged the security issues and subsequently took its service offline., ironically posting it to the platform’s Twitter account. It reads: “The Hive team has become aware of security issues that affect the stability of our application and the safety of our users.
