Twitter/X alternative Spoutible has been accused of a security breach that exposed users' emails and phone numbers.
A security researcher found that the company's developer API was also exposing information that bad actors could have used to take over users’ accounts without them knowing.
The company denies the claims and says it has now partnered with a security firm.
Spoutible CEO Christopher Bouzy has been accused of downplaying the severity of a data breach.
One user, Mike Natale , has publicly accused the CEO of deleting his posts on the social networking site.
Bouzy denies the claims, saying the allegation is "baseless and does not merit further discussion".
