I also would never hire you, if this is your goal. You are irresponsible for publicly disclosing these vulnerabilities that obviously haven't been fixed. Actual Hackers are now going be more likely to steal information and worse to innocent people, using the platform.
As I've always said, Hacktivists are just authoritarians with no power. You didn't get what you wanted and don't care about the innocent people affected by your actions.
Anyway, if you build an app with no security at all, like this one, refuse to fix it you deserve all the consequences. And if indians can't get their shit together to hold these companies responsible for their incompetence, well sucks to be them.
Instead of fixing these issues they have been implement "ai matchmaking" like that is more important.
And these fixes aren't that hard either. Its not rocket science.
My goal is not to get hired, my goal is to hold them responsible and hopefully make them fucking fix it.
I hate companies that don't give a rats ass about their users security and waste time making ai shit instead of fixing their problems cuz they dont care.
