Clubhouse did not respond to emailed requests for comment on these possible security risks.

Jerry Ray, COO of enterprise data security and encryption company SecureAge, said that he sees two types of security risks for people using Clubhouse: The threat of exposure of recorded voice content and the threat of exposure of customer or account ID and associated personally identifiable information.

"In either case, that threat could have come from an exploit of a technical vulnerability within the Clubhouse app or infrastructure, or it could have come from the humans behind the voices, who can record anything their ears can hear by countless analog means, regardless of the Clubhouse feature of preventing recordings within the app or devices running it."
