HIV Dating Company Accuses Researchers of Hacking Database (csoonline.com)

itwbennett writes: Slashdot readers will recall the story posted last week about the misconfiguration of the MongoDB database that powers Hzone, a dating app for the HIV-positive, and the ensuing threat of HIV infection the company hurled at DataBreaches.net, who sent the notification. (Hzone later apologized.) But that's not the end of the story. Among other twists and turns that point to a CEO who was in way over his head, in several emails to Dissent, the admin of DataBreaches.net, Hzone CEO Justin Robert accused Dissent of changing the Hzone user database. But follow-up emails suggest that the company couldn't tell what was accessed or when, as Robert says Hzone doesn't have 'a strong tech team to maintain the site.'

That's a first

I know this warning is unnecessary here, but do not follow the second link in the summary (same as the one under the title). This is the first time a /. summary has been better written than the source article.

What content there was to be found between the typos and grammar errors indicated that the immunocompromised dating site owners are incompetent, sue happy, and really bad liars. (A fairly common combination, so nothing unusual there.)

Just to give everyone the FYI, Mr. JianQiang also has the following domains: tophivdatingsites lesbiandatingonline singleparentdatingonline singleparentfish pozty - alas to hzoneapp ubaliaoyn - some chinese site xoiiixaab - some chinesesite He stopped the other site projects when he scored with hzone. He's not a single parent, he's not lesbian(well he may like women) and he's certainly not POZ. He's just a Chinese man screwing everyone over with this charade. So Mr. JianQiang, drop the act.
