1. I just changed my phone # 2. I notified all of my contacts to change their phone #s 3. I contacted both Apple and my State senator.

I am outraged by this scandal, and I still can't bring myself to believe that Path has been collecting this sensitive personal information. My 6-month old's pediatrician's # is in my phone. If this were EVER exposed or shared with a 3rd party, I can only image what kind of damage could occur. Path should suffer for this. I forgive Apple for secretly tracking my iPhone's location for a year, but I DO NOT FORGIVE PATH. Not this time. This went to far. Dave Morin should know better. I bet an engineer voiced that he felt morally wrong doing this, and Path just fired him. This is just wrong. A defining moment in our industry. We need to stand united on this issue, and just try to move forward.



Your child's pediatricians phone number will somehow cause inconceivable damage if this number gets out? I bet calling up all of the pediatricians in your town phishing for this info would be much more productive than worrying about it being stolen off of a database from Path.


I think you need to crank the irony up a little further, some people aren't getting it.


You can contact Path and they will remove the data for you.
