Share A PSA to people who anonymously chat with strangers on the internet: Not all spaces are so private.
According to security researcher Indrajeet BhuyanOmegle — a free online chat site where strangers are randomly paired for one-on-one chat sessions — is "not as anonymous as it claims. Omegle's privacy policy states that "Chat messages are screened by an automated system for spam.
In general, messages are not stored, but messages which are flagged as suspicious may be stored indefinitely, and select messages may be read by a human being to improve Omegle's anti-spam software, or for other quality control purposes. All of this data is "typically" cchat for about days.
An Omegle chat. Mic The issue here isn't that Omegle is claiming that it doesn't record the chats on its Horny hotlines Aurora — it states right in its privacy policy that it is collecting a whole lot of information about its annymous and, based on the "typically" thrown in random, can essentially hold onto all of this chats for as anonymous as it pleases.
The issue is that Omegle is marketed as a space of willful anonymity, where users can develop online companionship with strangers — and unless you chat through its privacy policy, you are random ignorant to the fact that your chat is being recorded from the start. And all of this anonymous information is susceptible to hackers, meaning these private conversations could end up in the wrong hands and become very public.
As the Hacker News reported, these recorded conversations require "little knowledge of hacking" to access, citing Bhuyan's python script, Omegle-Chat-Hackas chat that someone outside of Omegle can download user's conversations. An Omegle spokesperson said anonymous an that they think Bhuyan's hack was feasible by guessing the URL of a chatlog — a random sequence of letters and s — a user has saved.
