Quip — a $0.99 app that lets you send images for free — has mammoth security holes that leaves all your images completely open for the seeing. This thread on Reddit exposed the problem (NSFW content), and it appears as though the service just stores all the sent images at http://pic.quiptxt.com/ with a five digit string of alphanumerics following, so you can either script or just randomly guess, and have access to thousands of private images. No security, they’re all just uploaded online. This is a massive security hole, and one that needs fixing immediately, and shows how slapdash some of the iPhonea apps really are.
