Controversies

On June 13, 2016, the Los Angeles Times reported that Omar Mateen was a Jack'd user for at least a year prior to the Orlando nightclub shooting in which he killed 49 people and wounded 53 others. Jack'd was not able to substantiate those claims.
On February 5, 2019, technology news outlet The Register reported a security flaw in the app in which users' private photos could be publicly viewed by anybody aware of the flaw. On February 7, 2019, Jack'd fixed the bug. On June 28, 2019, the Office of the Attorney General of New York announced that Online Buddies, Inc. will pay the state $240,000 to settle the privacy complaint and that the company would implement a "comprehensive security program" to prevent similar incidents in the future. In a statement, New York State Attorney General Letitia James said, “ put users’ sensitive information and private photos at risk of exposure and didn't do anything about it for a full year just so they could continue to make a profit.”
