Clubhouse confirms data spillage of its audio streams
Audio-only social network Clubhouse has confirmed that a user managed to stream content from the app on their website.
The app allows users to participate in public or private audio chatrooms, promising that the content has to be experienced live and is not recorded.
US cyber-security researchers said a user found a way to stream feeds from multiple chatrooms on Sunday.
Clubhouse confirmed the spill, which is when data is released to a place that is not authorised to have access to it.
The firm told Bloomberg it had banned the user and installed new “safeguards” to prevent conversations from being streamed again.
Clubhouse told the BBC that recording or streaming without the explicit permission of the speakers violates the app’s terms and conditions.
A spokeswoman said: “Over the weekend, an individual temporarily streamed multiple rooms from their own feed to a website.
“This individual’s account has been permanently banned from the service and we have added additional safeguards to prevent people from doing this in the future.”
