Viral dating advice app Tea experienced a data breach on Friday. It's been at the top of the US Apple App Store this week.
Tea, an app that claims to help women "make sure your date is safe, not a catfish and not in a relationship," is experiencing a security breach. 404 Media reports that a database posted on 4chan allowed anyone to access users' data. (It's since been removed.) The dataset included thousands of images, including driver's licenses.
The Tea dating app, designed as a women-only safety platform, is facing intense backlash after a major data breach exposed 72,000 user images. The leak, reportedly shared on 4chan, includes verification selfies and government IDs.
