Essentially what happened here is there was no actual product. They had inside info that Apple was making this move and figured they would get some free PR from it. And idiot Youtubers were dumb enough to give it to them.

Not to mention the way they wanted to accomplish this killed privacy. Insanely invasive. Nobody should trust Nothing after this, if somehow you still did. And stop listening to any Youtubers who happily carried their water this week.

Tell me you didn’t read the article without telling me… the app was released and available on the Google Play store, the person who discovered the insecurities did so by evaluating the app and discovered thousands of actual customer records which were stored insecurely and accessible via public URL strings.

Hint for the slow folks......they knew there was massive security flaws lol. Its a feature not a bug. The point is Nothing had no care what the app was. They put out Sunbirds app under their name as a beta app knowing it would only be up for a few days before Apple announced.
