Comment on Ask HN: Why is "Tea" still on the App Store after so many data breaches?

Comments

Because Apple carefully vets all apps and that's why it must be allowed to maintain its App Store monopoly!

To be fair the app itself wasn't compromised, heck even the server wasn't breached, it was just a database open for everyone!

Thats true of the first hack, the photos. But I dont believe that is true for the 2nd, the messages.

Everything works as it has been designed. I wonder which companies will start using this excuse after being hacked.

it was just a database open for everyone!

All good then!

Most likely, you're being sarcastic, but just to put this out there, that would be like me publishing an app where you just write text into a box and click submit and I promise in the app store info and privacy policy that submitting it just causes it to get erased, but the information is actually being sent to all your worst enemies.
