The concern for these intimate details being leaked, according to cybersecurity researchers, is that users of Whisper could have been identified or blackmailed. For years the app left intimate confessions exposed on the Web that were tied to the posters age, location, and other details. Ironically, Whisper calls itself the "safest place on the Internet" and claims to have hundreds of millions of users. The leaked messages were publicly viewable until a major news outlet contacted Whisper before running a story on the breach. The app has been confirmed to have leaked personal information online that was tied to the location of the user. Whisper is an app that was meant to allow users to anonymously share highly intimate details on their sexual preferences and other data without other users knowing who they really were.
