Houseparty has offered a massive $1 million dollar bounty for proof that there has been a smear campaign launched against them.
The popular app, which allows group video chats, had seen a surge in users due to self-isolation worldwide.
This week the app was hit by claims that users were being “hacked” after downloading the app.
Speaking to Goss.ie, a rep for the app said they believe a smear campaign has been launched against them and they are looking for proof.
“We are investigating indications that the recent hacking rumors were spread by a paid commercial smear campaign to harm Houseparty.
