AI companion apps Chattee Chat and GiMe Chat leak intimate conversations of 400,000 users
Two AI companion apps, Chattee Chat and GiMe Chat, developed by Hong Kong-based Imagime Interactive Limited, exposed millions of intimate conversations and over 600,000 images from over 400,000 users. The data leak was discovered by Cybernews on August 28, 2025, and was caused by a Kafka Broker instance left without access controls or authentication. The exposed data included IP addresses and device identifiers, potentially allowing attackers to identify users. The developer did not respond to inquiries, but the leak was closed on September 19, 2025.
