Fetish App Whiplr Sparks Controversy With Privacy Fears

5942090561_8656911f4b_zA popular fetish app has been called out for being very very bad—not in a good way. Whiplr, which bills itself as the “world’s biggest online fetish community,” was found to be storing users’ passwords in plain text. It stores unmasked user credentials in its internal database, which leaves them wide open to hackers.

The news is very distressing to kinksters, considering that many Whiplr users choose to remain anonymous. After the flaw was pointed out, Whiplr said it would implement greater security measures to protect users’ credentials, saying “We took steps to make sure this never happens again.” Whiplr says it has now secured passwords with one-way encryption and will be “adding more security measures” in the future—but still, it marks a troubling security flaw for an app that previously pledged to help protect users’ identities. This is the type of dangerous situation that is definitely not hot…

Whiplr is the New App for Kinksters

Are you into apps like Tinder that help you get laid with no strings attached, but have been longing for something, well, a little more kink friendly? If so, we have good news for you. Whiplr is a new app that is specially for those who want to have kinky sex. “The idea came from within the kink community. There simply wasn’t a mobile app for people to find and connect with other people into fetish and kink,” said Whiplr’s Chief Communications Officer, Daniel Sevitt.

Whiplr came on the scene just this year and right in time for Valentine’s Day. And since it’s so new, it’s still gaining users (time to sign up, kinky horny people!). It’s also location based, like Grindr, which means that you can find potential play partners close to you or farther away if you’re looking for more discretion. But most importantly, you can define your kinks according to various categories (objects, shopping, odors), but you are also free to discuss any aspects of your fetishes in private. Sevitt explains, “Kink is a journey and everyone should be free to be who they want to be and like what they want without someone else defining it for them.” Right on, Whiplr!
