The app also stored users’ passwords in plain text. Users’ images, location points, and videos could all be gleaned from Nimbuzz. They were able to sniff images sent on Tango, sketches sent on Kik. The issues with Tango, Nimbuzz and Kik were similar to those the researchers discussed on Monday’s. On Tuesday they publicized insecurities they found in a trio of cross-platform instant messengers: Tango, Nimbuzz, and Kik. On Monday, the team discussed the first three bugs they found in the photo sharing app Instagram, the dating app OKCupid and the messaging app ooVoo. They then captured and analyzed the traffic via tools such as NetworkMiner, a free Network Forensic Analysis Tool (NFAT) for Windows, and Wireshark, a network protocol analyzer for Unix and Windows. The researchers found the flaws by creating a test network using Windows 7’s virtual mini port adapter to monitor all traffic to and from the phone. Researchers at the University of New Haven’s Cyber Forensics Research and Education Group ( UNHcFREG) have chosen to disclose the issues, most which result from the storage of unencrypted content on the apps’ servers, over the course of five videos in five days.
