.@appboy patches its servers after Ruby on Rails vulnerability

Unknown hacker groups had found a way to exploit the web framework and threatened to release the vulnerabilities to the public.

Since Appboy’s platform is built on Rails, we updated all of our services to fix the vulnerability the same day we learned about the problem. During this process, our platform experienced no downtime and clients were able to use our dashboard as normal. Appboy is fully secure and our clients’ data is safe.
