Flaw in the Tinder app allows users to pinpoint your exact location

Tinder users could have had their near-exact location revealed for more than two months last year while a flaw in the app remained unfixed. The flaw, which has since been patched, could have allowed a hacker to triangulate a user’s location to within 100 feet. Utilizing the flaw meant knowing a user’s current city and their behind-the-scenes identifier in the app, however, which meant that the hacker would likely have had to intercept their target’s phone traffic in the past before putting the vulnerability to use.
