How does Tinder get hacked?

I realise this is not strictly social media. If this is an issue please just remove it.

I believe someone has been hacking into my Tinder account.

How can they do this? I know they know my mobile number and email. But even so, how can this be possible?

 

Quite simply, by accessing your mobile phone, you probably installed an application that required access to your data and you agreed without realizing it.

Delete all dubious applications you have recently installed on your phone or PC and scan with an antivirus, change all passwords, activate two-step login.

 

I have done everything @UpgradeIT.ro suggests.

There is absolutely no way she could have got hold of the phone to do this manually.

I am wondering if hacking via the website is also possible.

Anyway, I have done a lot of googling on this and cannot see any way to change my password. Or indeed that there is even a password o Tindr because I cannot find any reference to it in my Account Settings.

 

Most often this happens through two leaks:
1. Your data leaked from Tinder due to Tinder's fault, and this was the first step towards comparison.
2. You use the same password on several sites or your password was scanned by an extension or site you visited.

 

I am not married or in a relationship atm and am certainly not doing anything nefarious.

The individual in question appears to be a serial cyberstalker who treats the activity as a nefarious hobby and whom I last saw several years ago.

So how can I stop her logging in with my phone number, having blocked the other avenues you mention, I believe?

A post above mentions changing the password but I have pored over the settings and can not see an option to do so or any reference to a password. Although I did previously have one weak password for multiple apps - until I massively strengthened them - and it was hacked when she got into my fb account.

 

I have considered changing my phone number. Given the hasle and expense involved - it woudl mean updating my business cards/stationery etc. I am not keen to. My Tindrr account is purely for researxch purposes atm as I am not looking and it is set to Incognito.

Restraining order - difficult to prove and probably useless but the police are intested and I have logged evicdence with them. I can have it investigated when I like if I wanrt the hassle of a possible court case. Creeps like her are a massive PITA and I do not think I am the first perosn she has done it to. I beievee she has even hacked the social media acocunts of femal freunds of mine and attempted to elciit pesonal data from them like email addresses. Real nasty piece of work.

 

One common way hackers can gain access to the Tinder system is through phishing scams. A hacker might create a website or email address disguised as Tinder and send out messages asking users to enter their login credentials. Once they do, the hacker can then use those details to gain access and potentially steal personal information such as account details, credit card information and even location data.
Another method of hacking into Tinder is by taking advantage of its insecure API (Application Programming Interface). This platform allows developers to integrate third-party applications with Tinder's services but it leaves plenty of room for exploitation from malicious actors. If a hacker gains access to this API, they can easily gain control over user accounts or manipulate features in malicious ways.
Other more complicated methods involve exploiting weaknesses in third-party software used by Tinder or using malware exploits on user devices that are linked with the app’s servers.
It is recommended to use the Morelogin virtual browser, which can help you avoid the risk of being tracked. And it has a stable and anonymous proxy environment-IP address, which can effectively create multiple accounts and guarantee that it will not be banned.

 

Unfortunately, it is possible for someone to gain access to your Tinder account if they know your mobile number and email. This is because Tinder uses a third-party authentication system called OAuth, which allows users to log in to their accounts with just their phone number and email address. If someone has access to these credentials, they can log in to your account and view your profile and messages.Fortunately, there are steps you can take to protect yourself against this type of attack. First, make sure that you are using a strong and unique password for your account. Also, make sure that the email address associated with your account is secure and that you are not sharing it with anyone. Finally, you can set up two-factor authentication on your account, which will require you to enter a code sent to your phone each time you log in. This will help keep your account secure.
