NowSecure says any of the data that Dipsic sends to its servers may not be dangerous separately, but they can be used to identify users. By extracting this data, the Chinese company could identify the identity of millions, according to the company.

Dipsic also uses the old encryption method; The 3DES algorithm, used to encrypt dipsic data, is a poor option to protect the data being confidential. In addition, the data collected by the DipSic app can be used for spying.
