Hackers Attack Russian Grindr

"You will be arrested and jailed for gay propaganda."

Some concerned hackers have determined the biggest threat to the Sochi Olympics are gay dating apps. Hunter, which is similar to Grindr, said the app was attacked by hackers who programmed it to send an anonymous threat to all users on Feb. 1 at 11:52 that “You will be arrested and jailed for gay propaganda in Sochi according to Russian Federationa Law #135 Sektion 6.” Hunter is now completely blocked in Sochi, and approximately 72,000 user profiles were deleted throughout Russia. Hunters' CEO, Dimitry T., who withheld his last name for security, wrote “This attack should be looked at as an attack on the worldwide gay community with the goal of blocking any gay interactions during the Winter Games in Sochi, including those between athletes and locals.”
