Story: LightShot Leaks was inspired from a Linus Tech Tips video where Linus was reacting to TikToks. A user showed how anyone could easily access other peoples private photos. Curious, right? So I tried it and of course worked! After researching into it I found a Reddit post from ~2018 sharing the discovery, this was 4+ years ago. Clearly the developers don't care about patching this, so here's a public warning, don't use LightShot.
