Apple bans anti-vax dating app; Amazon soap dispenser cleans your hands better

It's all tech news that's trending right now, welcome to Trending Hashtags! It's Tuesday, August 3rd, and I'm your host, Tom Lee.

Hackers hoping to get a decent salary from Electronic Arts (EA) data stolen last month were scuttled when no one wanted to pay for it. Hackers who stole 780GB of source code from EA's internal repository tried to sell data for $28 million on a hacker forum last month. Unfortunately for them, the data was mostly source code that wasn't very meaningful to other cybercrime groups that valued sensitive personal information rather than source code for games. The hackers then turned around and tried to take out the EA, but the company did not budge. Frustrated, they decided to release the entire data dump on a public platform. But EA is not worried and has assured its clients that it will not have any impact on its business operations.

Tinder and many other dating platforms now offer a nice badge for those who have received the COVID 19 vaccine. Unfortunately, the anti-vax crowd isn't happy they've been abandoned. Thus, he created Unjected, a dating app specifically for anti-vaxxers, and published it on Apple's App Store. Although the app was short-lived, however, Apple quickly rejected it. Its users once again expressed their dismay, describing the move as heavy censorship.

The COVID pandemic has highlighted the need for good hygiene, and washing your hands is one of the most effective ways to reduce transmission. While many of us sing a tune in our heads to make sure we've washed our hands for 20 seconds, Amazon wants to make sure you count properly by releasing a smart soap dispenser. There is a light above the dispenser that counts to 20 to ensure consistent washing every time. Its $55 price is a bit high, but if you think it would be helpful, leave a comment at ITWC and tell us why.
