FORBES - Nov 16 - Researchers at San Diego-based Independent Security Evaluators discovered that even if they'd been banned from Bumble, they could acquire a wealth of information on its daters. The flaws were fixed earlier this month. For ~6 months since the researchers alerted Bumble they could acquire the identities of every Bumble user. If an account was connected to Facebook, it was possible to retrieve all of their "interests" or pages they liked and pictures and rough location. Bumble's API didn't do the necessary checks or have limits so it was possible to repeatedly probe the server for information on other users. It took six months for Bumble to fix the problems. Bumble rival Hinge had vulnerabilities and the problems were addressed in under a month.
