Hacking Grindr Accounts with Copy and Paste
As far as I can tell Grindr has had crappy security and a willful negligent response to security concerns for its entire existence. Don't forget that location tracking in real time of people with Grindr. Don't use Grindr.

I'm not a user of Grindr, but isn't the real time location tracking a feature that users actually like?

Yes. "Who else in my structural engineering tute is gay?" was one of the killer apps for GPS on mobile phones.

The real-time location tracking is very central to the app. It’s a grid of people organized by distance.

It’s how you try to find out if the hot guy across the bar might be up for it.
