Cybersecurity experts across the pond are concerned that the location feature on your favorite gay dating app could make you more susceptible to hate crimes.

As BBC News reports, some of the United Kingdom's most popular hookup apps—including Grindr, Romeo, and Recon—are leaking data about the precise locations of their users to other people on the platform. Researchers from a cybersecurity test company were able to demonstrate how they could easily pinpoint the exact locale of a nearby user through a process called trilateration.

The same researchers said you wouldn't even need to leave your house to do so, meaning homophobes could specifically target individual gay and bisexual men near them with relative ease—that is, if you have the tech savvy necessary to carry out trilateration.

Spokespeople for all of the aforementioned apps have reportedly been made aware of the issue, and BBC News claims there are a few key steps developers could implement to fix the security risks, too.

In a statement to the news outlet, a rep from Grindr confirmed that users do have the option to "hide their distance information from their profile," and that the app does obscure location info "in countries where it is dangerous or illegal to be a member of the LGBTQ+ community."

This isn't the first time Grindr in particular has come under fire. This March, Grindr's parent company, the Chinese tech giant Beijing Kunlun Tech Co., Ltd., announced its plans to sell the app after national security officials in the United States government "raised concerns about its ownership."

HIV/AIDS advocates have also voiced concerns about Grindr sharing HIV status information from its users with third-party quality control sites, a practice the app's execs claim the company no long does.

The app boasts more than 3.6 million daily users.
