The women's dating safety app Tea, which has attracted around 4 million users and recently topped the US App Store charts, has suffered multiple data breaches exposing sensitive user information. The initial breach involved unauthorized access to a database containing approximately 72,000 images, including 13,000 verification photos such as selfies and government-issued IDs like drivers' licenses and passports. These images were leaked publicly on platforms such as 4chan, where users also created maps of Tea app users based on the leaked data. The breach reportedly stemmed from a publicly accessible database on Firebase, rather than a sophisticated hacking technique. Subsequently, a second security breach exposed over 1.1 million private direct messages dating from early 2023 to recent weeks, many containing sensitive personal information including discussions about abortions and cheating. The app, designed to allow women to anonymously review men they have dated by assigning red or green flags, has sparked debates over privacy, security, and potential misuse. Despite these incidents, Tea remains highly ranked in the App Store. The company has stated it has fixed the data issue and implemented additional security measures. The breaches have led to class-action lawsuits and raised concerns about the app's handling of user data, especially given claims that verification photos were supposed to be deleted immediately after confirmation but were found in the leaked data. The incidents have also fueled broader discussions about privacy risks in apps designed for sensitive social interactions.
