Clubhouse goes up in downloads and user adoption, but it looks like it still needs to work on privacy.
After the Stanford Internet Observatory's alert a few days ago, Bloomberg reports that there has been a breach in the security of the platform's chats, which is based solely on voice interactions.
A user was able to steal several audios from some listening 'rooms', so they are called the platform's discussion places, and stream them back to a third party site.
Clubhouse has confirmed this, has "permanently banned" the user and implemented new levels of "protection" to prevent this from happening again.
However, according to researchers from the Stanford Internet Observatory, the platform may not be able to avoid the repetition of the incident and on the app, currently only available for the iOS platform and by invitation only, the conversations could be somehow recorded.
The same researchers in recent days have pointed out that Clubhouse relies on the Chinese startup Agora to manage much of its operations and data traffic, an addiction that raises privacy concerns.
According to analytics firm App Annie, Clubhouse has crossed the 8 million download mark.
