An unidentified user was able to stream Clubhouse audio feeds this weekend from “multiple rooms” into their own third-party website, said Reema Bahnasy, a spokeswoman for Clubhouse. Users of the invitation-only iOS app should assume all conversations are being recorded, the Stanford Internet Observatory, which was first to publicly raise security concerns Feb. 13, said late Sunday. “Clubhouse cannot provide any privacy promises for conversations held anywhere around the world,” said Alex Stamos, director of Stanford Internet Observatory and Facebook Inc.’s former security chief. Stanford Internet Observatory said it didn’t determine the origin or identities of the attackers. A week ago, Stanford Internet Observatory released a report saying it observed metadata from a Clubhouse chatroom “being relayed to servers we believe to be hosted” in China.
