Anti-vaxxers aren’t just bad at protecting themselves from viral illnesses; apparently, some of them are also horrible at protecting themselves from potential computer viruses. Case in point: The infamous anti-vax dating site, Unjected, was hacked by a programmer who found that pretty much anyone who wanted could have taken over as the dating site’s administrator, according to a new exclusive report from The Daily Dot.
Unjected (which is not a word; I looked it up) isn’t new; the “Tinder for anti-vaxxers,” as it’s been called, launched in summer 2021 — and soon after was removed from the Apple App Store for violating COVID rules, Gizmodo reported at the time. But, The Daily Dot noted, it’s been chugging along (albeit on a smaller scale) since then. This month, a programmer known as GeopJr revealed that Unjected’s administrator dashboard was accessible to the public, meaning any of us could have not only accessed its users’ private information, but also made changes to their profiles and even deactivated pages on the site, per The Daily Dot.
