Dog walking app suffers security breach

Posted

 

Wag Labs, the company behind the popular app that connects dog owners to dog walkers exposed over 100 peoples' addresses and home lock codes in what the company is calling a technical glitch.

According to the Wall Street Journal, the exposed information was located on obscure pages on Wag’s website that weren't’t password-protected. It wasn't clear how long the information was visible.

Wag said it was notified last week of a “technical glitch” in its software and that it fixed the problem hours later. So far, there's no indication if anyone's house has been broken into as a result or if any hackers had access to the information.
