Ticketing app and ongoing shitshow MoviePass has been burning through whatever could possibly remain of its finances at an incredible rate—when last the imploding startup was in the news, it was because it reportedly tried to prevent users from actually using it by changing their passwords and barring them from certain screenings. Leaked internal data in April showed that the company was down to 225,000 subscribers from its peak of three million. Its parent company, Helios & Matheson, took the app offline in July for some vaguely defined “updates,” and it has been inaccessible since. Now, according to a report in TechCrunch, it’s going to have to explain how it left some 58,000 users’ customer card details exposed on a database accessible to the entire internet.
