The Singapore-based parent company of viral social networking app Bondee has refuted allegations that its users’ credit card information was leaked, adding that it does not currently collect any financial details.
“We would like to assure our users that such rumours are false and untrue, as Metadream does not currently collect users’ credit card information or any other financial information. We have also undertaken a precautionary review of our systems and wish to assure our users that our systems and our users’ personal data remain safe and secure.”
Bondee’s app store page shows that in-app purchases are available in the form of B-Beans, an in-game currency. Bondee said in its privacy policy that the B-Beans can be spent on non-fungible token products on the platform, but the service does not appear to be active yet. Field cyber-security officer Ian Lim from cyber-security firm Palo Alto Networks said it is unlikely for an app to gain access to a user’s bank account if it has access to only the camera and media folder. In this specific case, bank accounts can be left vulnerable if users have financial information stored in images on their photo albums, he added.
