My friend's mental health app got hacked and it was a nightmare

They had sensitive conversations stored that were accessed. From what I've seen, always enable two-factor authentication on any app that handles personal health data.

Absolutely, two-factor is a must for anything that personal. My fitness tracker got breached last year and seeing my sleep patterns shared somewhere was just creepy. Makes you realize how much trust we put in these apps.

Remember when my heart rate data from a meditation app ended up in some weird marketing report. After that I went through every app on my phone and turned off permissions for anything that didn't absolutely need it. Most of them work fine with just the basic info. It's a pain but it really cuts down on what can get out if there's another breach.
