The Citizen Lab, a socio-political research group from the University of Toronto's Munk School of Global Affairs & Public Policy, found the Beijing 2022 companion app, to be used by Olympians and other attendees of the Games, has a security flaw that opens up any user's personal data to hackers.

David Masson, chair of enterprise security at Darktrace, joined to explain the potential dangers of the app to its users.
