Severe Vulnerabilities in Friend.tech Leads to Database Leak

While Friend.tech is blasting with tons of users, some on-chain sleuths have already discovered alarming vulnerabilities in its smart contract. 

A pseudonymous core contributor to Yearn Finance, Banteg has posted a list of 101,183 people containing twitter accounts and their address connected on Friend.tech.

Banteg claimed that users gave access to posting them as the site asked for their data. Friend.tech asked permission to track and save data from twitter while signing up and users also granted permission to post on their behalf. 

The data leakage-vulnerability was found by onchain data researcher SpotOnChain which shared it on X. SpotOnChain revealed that user data can be obtained by API.

🚨🚨 Some facts for the fast-growing @friendtech project:

➡️ generated a 2,953 $ETH (~$5M) fee in just 11 days
➡️ The current value of all shares is 4,435 $ETH (~$7.4M)
