Following Data Leak, HIV Dating App's Developers Threaten Infection (csoonline.com)

itwbennett writes: Sometime before November 29, the MongoDB housing the data of Hzone, a dating app for HIV-positive singles, was exposed to the Internet. The company, displeased with having the security incident disclosed, responded to an email notification from DataBreaches.net with this threat: "Why do you want to do this? What's your purpose? We are just a business for HIV people. If you want money from us, I believe you will be disappointed.

I suppose you and your family members don't want to get HIV from us? If you do, go ahead." Hzone later apologized for the threat.
