Tea, a popular app where women exchange information about men, achieved the No. 1 position in the Apple App Store's lifestyle category before being hacked. The breach compromised approximately 13,000 verification images and 59,000 additional images from user interactions. Tea's representatives stated that the data was archived for law enforcement compliance. Following the hacking incident, the app engaged cybersecurity experts to secure its systems and reported no evidence of further data being affected. The app aims to promote safety in dating by allowing users to flag men’s profiles and share experiences.
"To sign up for the 'dating safety' app, a woman is asked to submit a selfie and photo of her ID card as verification of her gender. About 13,000 of those submitted images were accessed in the hack."
"Tea has engaged third-party cybersecurity experts and is working around the clock to secure its systems. At this time, there is no evidence to suggest that additional user data was affected."
