Clubhouse data leak reports officially denied by CEO - Android

Over the last weekend, we started to hear reports of a data leak related to the Clubhouse application. A report from CyberNews claimed that important data related to 1.3 million Clubhouse users has been leaked. The data was taken from the SQL database and was posted on a well-known hacker forum for free.

Clubhouse's alleged leaked data includes details like user ID, name, photo URL, username, Instagram/Twitter handle, followers/following count, account creation date, and name of the user who invited them. It does not seem like any sensitive information was leaked and this is something the company has acknowledged as well.

Paul Davison, CEO of Clubhouse, has officially denied all the reports about the data leak. He said that the data posted on the forum include already publically available information. The Verge has quoted him as saying, “No, This is misleading and false, it is a clickbait article, we were not hacked. The data referred to was all public profile information from our app. So the answer to that is a definitive ‘no.’”
