- lonelappde 7y agoIt's terrible that clickbait mass media is complicit in this smear campaign, repeating FUD claims without evidence or attempting investigation.
- m11a 7y agoI'm not sure this matters. It's a very strong gesture that they're highly confident their systems were not compromised, but the word is already out: "Houseparty has poor security and leaked your passwords" It's kinda hard to come back from that, unless media print a correction with the same enthusiasm as the initial reports.
- aaron695 7y agoSeems organic to me. All tweets I found had legitimate accounts behind them. A cynic might say Houseparty has offered the reward because they know they don't have to pay and for PR. There wasn't much news media about it before the reward.
- calmworm 7y agoI had similar thoughts. I hadn’t even heard of Houseparty until now.
