Abstract

The article delves into the security vulnerabilities of the Badoo dating app, focusing on how an adversary can intercept sensitive user data through a man-in-the-middle (MITM) attack. Using freely available software and tools, the authors demonstrate how an attacker can capture network traffic, decrypt it, and extract detailed information about users, including personal details, communication activities, and even proximity data. The research highlights the ease with which such attacks can be executed, raising concerns about user safety and privacy. The findings underscore the need for enhanced security measures in dating apps to protect user data and mitigate potential risks.
