Its not the the first time that mitron has fooled the users .The first time was when it was found out that the app is not ‘Indian’ but has been made in Pakistan and is the repackaged version of tic tic. Irfan Sheikh, the founder and CEO of Qboxus has confirmed that Mitron’s promoter purchased the source code for $34 ( ₹2,600 approximately).

Earlier, mitron has reported vulnerability. vulnerablity like that lets hackers take control of user accounts and even send messages on their behalf. In addition, the attacker can follow others using the hacked account or even comment, said cyber-security researcher Rahul Kankrale to Gadgets 360. As per Kankrale, the vulnerability is right within the login process of the app from where attackers can take control of the user account without even knowing the password or going through other verification processes.

As mentioned in the report, Mitron app is also not using the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol for the login. The app does allow users to login using their Google credentials but still uses its own unique user ID for the login process instead of using the Google account. He has even made a video for it.
