A popular fetish app has been found to be storing users' passwords in plain text. Whiplr, which bills itself as the 'world's biggest online fetish community,' stores unmasked user credentials in its internal database, according to Engadget. Inside the app, users can message, call or video chat with others. In fact, there are no laws against storing users' passwords in plain text format, Engadget noted. The error caused passwords to be stored in plain text in an internal log before the hashing process was completed.
