Fraudulent AI‑Powered Dating App Dora Exposes Users to Fake Calls

Security researcher Matthew "Zigula" Gore‑Kormanik was testing a new dating app called Dora when a pop‑up message claimed a call from a profile named Jennifer. The profile described a 41‑year‑old Sagittarius with red hair, blue eyes, piercings, and interests in music, horror movies, nightlife, and sports. When Gore‑Kormanik answered, the video feed showed only a moving tapestry, likely caused by a fan, and the background contained distorted audio. After the call ended, Jennifer texted him, saying she had fun and complimented his voice, even though his microphone had not been activated. The incident reveals how Dora’s AI system can fabricate convincing profiles and orchestrate deceptive video calls, tricking users into believing they are interacting with real people.
