Similarly, a Reddit user called BlueMountainDace exposed how Parler s hosting platform Twilio, accidentally revealed the app s security authentications in a press release. This made it very easy for anybody to access Parler s private content including chat history, geodata and even driver s license.

As per technology expert Matthew Sheffield, the breach was possible due the Parler s long criticised lax security standards.
