yes or no? has clubhouse user data been stolen?

Clubhouse is a social network that boomed about a year and a half ago. This social network is characterized by the power talk about any topic as if it were a debate, with anyone and in real time. That is, it is a chat application but only through audio, without writing anything, as if it were a radio program. It was initially only accessible by invitation, but is now open to anyone who owns the app. But nevertheless, It seems that the data from billions of people they could have been stolen. But what is the truth in this?

Apparently, the company has been accused of alleged Data Violation, since they would have stolen the data of billions of people who have used the platform and who they are already circulating via a popular hacking forum.

The controversy broke out on Twitter

Controversy It began to occur when a user on Twitter reported that Clubhouse had stolen the personal data of almost four billion people. Also, a second user claimed all this. However, it was the platform itself which denied this.

They have also ensured that for them security and privacy of all its users is the most important thing and that they are even investing money in forms of security who are leaders in the social media industry.

Don’t worry: Clubhouse hasn’t been robbed

In fact, not only did this Clubhouse assert but also several experts corroborated this information, claiming that all those phone numbers that had been leaked had no name or photo linked to the number.

That is, what is being sold on the famous hacker portal are random numbers that do not have to do with those of the users of the social network. However, this can lead to scams via SMS, for example, since it is very likely that many of these numbers belong to people from Spain.
