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. And, I believe your illegal and stupid behavior will be notified by our HIV users and you and your concerns will be revenged by all of us. 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.

    At least other sites aren't mindless sheep pumping "ride-sharing", but rather using terms like e-hailing instead.

    Because the primary usages of Uber is not what a normal person would call "ride-sharing". And yes, I know about the recently launched, I don't know what to call it "sideline" that Uber announced/started which actually would be what a normal person would call 'ride-sharing', which is basically carpooling with Uber taking a cut.
