Neon, a call-recording app that went viral this week, has been taken down after it was found to have a serious security flaw, TechCrunch reports.
The app lets users make money out of selling their data. When users make calls through the app, their conversations are recorded, stripped of personal details, and sold to third-party AI firms. In exchange, users receive a set fee, up to $0.30 per minute.
Neon’s website doesn’t say much about how it handles user data.
