Tea, dating app and Women-only
Digest more
A data breach exposed photos and ID cards of women who signed up for a fast-growing app for women to share details of men they might date.
Hackers have breached the Tea app, which recently went viral as a place for women to safely talk about men, and tens of thousands of women’s selfies and photo IDs have now seemingly been leaked online.
Its full name is Tea Dating Advice, and the central idea is a women-only app that gives those who are dating the ability to access background checks on men. This includes whether they have a criminal record (or if they're sex offenders), as well as reverse image searching to identify catfishing (assuming a false identity online).
The popular women's only dating advice app, which skyrocketed to the top of the app download charts last week, experienced a data breach Friday.
