Why was that type of user info stored in the first place?

EDIT: Derp. I need fresh glasses. I read "what" instead of "why".

It's listed very early on in the article.

The exposed information reportedly includes full names, user credentials, phone numbers and precise location data for more than 100,000 registered users. One post indicated that the breach involved detailed GPS coordinates, potentially identifying activists' residences or frequent locations.

Yes but why?

[–] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Oh, "why". Fuck I'm blind. I read "what". My bad.

No worries, mate. We all have days like that.
