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.
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.
Just days after thousands of user images and locations were leaked in an apparent hack of archived app data, women-only safety app Tea is weathering data exposure at an even larger scale than first reported.
The Tea app data breach has grown into an even larger leak, with the stolen data now shared on hacking forums and a second database discovered that allegedly contains 1.1 million private messages exchanged between the app's members.
