A major Indian job site, Naukri, was found leaking recruiter email addresses due to a bug in its API for Android and iOS apps.
The vulnerability exposed recruiters' email IDs, making them susceptible to targeted phishing attacks and unsolicited emails.
Security researcher Lohith Gowda highlighted the dangers and emphasized the risk of automated bot abuse and scams resulting from the leak.
After being informed about the issue, Naukri promptly fixed the bug to prevent further data exposure and claimed that no unusual activity affecting user data integrity was detected.
