No Need to Hack When It’s Leaking: Click to Pray edition

The Click To Pray app, a prayer application endorsed by the Pope with hundreds of thousands of users, exposed users' names and email addresses through a data leak. An ethical hacker discovered the exposure, which had persisted for months or longer.

Why it matters: Users of the Click To Pray app face phishing and targeted social engineering attacks due to their exposed personal information, and organizations using religiously-affiliated apps should audit their security controls immediately.
