@emanuelmaiberg.bsky.social first reported about Quittr exposing user data in January, but was unable to name Quittr in because its creators, Alex Slater Connor McLaren, did not fix its security issues despite multiple requests and an offer from an independent researcher to help them fix it.

Quittr vulnerabilities exposed the masturbation habits as well as private confessional diaries of 600,000 users, including 100,000 MINORS. And didn't fix the problem despite being made aware of it more than six months ago.
It's almost as if it weren't a treatment app, but a surveillance app.

Naming the app while hackers were still able to easily steal Quittr’s user data would have endangered their privacy and put them at risk of extortion from hackers, which is very common today.
