3Fun is a location-based mobile dating application that is available for both iOS and Android devices. Currently available in the United States, the United Kingdom, Brazil, the Netherlands, and several other countries, 3Fun has more than 2 million downloads. The app is free to download and provides a platform for people to communicate and meet new people.
3Fun is a location-based dating app
3Fun is a location-based app that enables users to chat with others. It offers couples the opportunity to create couple profiles and share messages with each other. Couples can also create shared profiles and connect with other 3Fun users. The 3Fun team also encourages users to complete their profile details, especially if they are interested in a long-term relationship.
3Fun’s user interface is friendly and makes it easy to browse through profiles. It will recommend profiles based on your location and your preferences. If you find a profile interesting, you can like it or un-like it with a single tap. The app will automatically match you with other users who like similar profiles.
It protects users from catfish
3Fun has taken a number of steps to protect its users from catfish. For instance, it puts every profile photo through a verification process and manually approves every profile. This process helps its AI program to learn patterns that will make it more difficult for catfish to post fake profiles. In addition, it scans all uploaded content.
It exposes sensitive user data
A study released this month by security researcher Pen Test Partners reveals 3Fun has failed to protect user data. The vulnerability allows attackers to gather sensitive information such as the gender of users, their location, and their birth dates. Furthermore, the data is not encrypted. This means that attackers could use the information to make profiles. In order to protect user data, a layered security approach should be implemented. In particular, a trusted device profile should be established. This will help prevent attribute spoofing.
Although 3Fun has fixed the vulnerability within a few weeks, the fact remains that 3Fun exposed sensitive user data. This action shows the lack of care for user privacy and violates users’ trust. Many dating apps rely on discretion and privacy, and if users feel threatened, they might quickly leave the app.
