Kardashians Speak on Lamar Odom, Temporarily Shut Down Websites

After individually sending their thoughts and prayers to Lamar Odom via social media this week, the young members of the Kardashian-Jenner family have released a joint statement.


With Odom allegedly brain dead and with hope tragically running low, the sisters gave fans a brief update on their personal status, while also touching on their latest business ventures.



Via a message posted on the new websites of Kim Kardashian, Kendall Jenner and Kylie Jenner, the siblings wrote:


“As a family, we’ve decided to hold off on publishing content across our apps while we continue to support and pray for Lamar. Thank you for your kindness and understanding during this difficult time.”


(Kourtney Kardashian does not have an app.)


Following a weekend of partying at a brothel in Nevada, Odom was found unconscious on Tuesday afternoon.


Tests have revealed both cocaine and a dangerous herbal supplement were in his system at the time of the incident, with Khloe, Kim and Kris Jenner flying to Lamar’s hospital bedside as soon as they learned the news.


Other family members later joined them, although everyone except Khloe has now headed back home to California.


Odom, however, remains in a coma. His prognosis has not improved and some outlets have reported that, even if Lamar survives, he will be brain dead.



The two-time NBA champion has battled substance abuse for many years.


He fell off the wagon after about four years of marriage to Khloe Kardashian, disappearing for a time and eventually admitting to infidelity during his drug binge.


Khloe as left with no choice but to divorce Lamar, although they are still legally married and she is therefore in charge of his medical decisions.


Since the couple’s split, she has also been very open about her strong feelings for her estranged husband.


According to a People Magazine insider, Odom is on his “last leg.” He’s hooked up to ventilator and the family is “preparing for the worst.”


Adds this source:


“Khloé has always loved him. And that has never changed and if he didn’t have issues, they would be together. She’s devastated.”

New Kardashian Websites Allegedly Exposed User Information For More Than 800,000 Users! Details HERE!

Talk about a boo-boo.


The new Kardashian and Jenner exclusive websites launched earlier this week — but apparently nothing goes off without a hitch!


Shortly after the sites went live, Alaxic Smith, a 19-year-old developer came across a little problem which he found could be used to gain access to a list of all four website’s — Kim Kardashian West, Khloe Kardashian, Kendall Jenner, and Kylie Jenner — users information.

Smith posted online — before it was removed — the story of how he came across the information saying he discovered a Javascript file that he began to play around with. In the post he said:


“Just for fun, I decided to un-minify this file to see what kind of data they were collecting from users and other metrics they may be tracking. I saw several calls to an API, which of course made sense. I popped one of those endpoints into my browser, and got an error just liked I expected.”



It was at this point that he logged onto Kylie’s website — because duh, of course it would be Kylie’s — with his own username and password and found the “endpoint” took him to a page that listed the first and last names as well as user names, and emails of over 650,000 users! Oh yeah, and he could delete any data any user had decided to share on the site.


Well of course Alaxic then tried this on the other sites and they did the same thing!


If this is true, it means that over 890,000 users were exposed according to Smith’s account.


The company that built the websites, Whalerock Industries, have since said that the issue has been fixed and confirmed that no payment information was compromised. In a statement the company released, they said:


“Shortly after launch we were alerted that there was an open Api. It was promptly closed. Our logs indicate that the author of the blog post was able to access only a limited set of names and email addresses. Our logs further indicate no one else had access and that no passwords nor payment data of any kind was exposed. Our highest priority is the security of our customers’ data.”



We’re not exactly sure how we feel about this. A breach in security is such a major issue, it definitely makes us think twice about trusting the sites.
