A dating safety app that allows women to do background checks on men and anonymously share "red flag" behaviour has been hacked, exposing thousands of members' images, posts and comments.
Tea Dating Advice, a US-based women-only app with 1.6 million users, said there had been "unauthorised access" to 72,000 images submitted by women.
Some included images of women holding photo identification for verification purposes, which Tea's own privacy policy promises are "deleted immediately" after authentication.
Tea said the breach affected members who signed up before February 2024.
Tea lets women check whether potential partners are married or registered sex offenders as well as run reverse image searches to protect against "catfishing", where people use fake online identities.
But one of the most controversial aspects of Tea is that it allows women to share information on men they have dated to "avoid red flags" but also highlight those with "green flag" qualities.
The company said the breached photos "can in no way be linked to posts within Tea".
The firm blocks screenshots so that posts are not shared outside the app.
...
The company was set up in November 2022 by Sean Cook, a software engineer who said he was inspired to create Tea after witnessing his mother's online dating experiences.

Now Chris Farley was fat.
Its not a dating app.
Its a feminist male doxxing app with zero safeguards for curbing abuse. And it will be sued out of existence.
The women and the company.
Screen capture is a joke. You can simply take a picture of the screen with your cell phone! The whole premise of no screen capture is ridiculous. Or simply just cut and paste the screenshot and save it as a file.
“driver license images”
That’s even worse than mug shots!
A new app has been created using the leaked photos of the women using TEA, with men rating the women from 1 to 10.
I’d rather see pictures out of the shower before all the make up was put on for glamor shots.
I think pictures in the shower would be more helpful
“Your data is safe with us” and “i’ve had a vasectomy” ...
The men talked about on the app cannot see that they've been slagged off (as our British cousins would say) on this app nor can they refute any of the things posted about them. If any of you remember slam books from when you were in grade school, this is basically an online version of that.
This is a classic example of toxic femininity. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xIZHZ2j83D8
I'm unsure this is even possible.
You can rate them if you want: spill.info.gf/index.php
Another 4chan victory.
I don’t have a problem with either concept. If a man (or woman) finds out there’s a lot of negative talk about him (or her) on a dating website, maybe he’ll be that one out of ten who’ll look in the mirror and figure out what needs to be fixed. So, a site that rates men is useful, and so is a site that rates women.
Well, nobody said humanity couldn’t ruin a good thing.
Well, that's bloody bad. The only way these men would find out if they need improvement, if any, is if the site gets hacked. So this hacker did them a bloody service.
Choose a Christian oriented dating site and don’t go for any sex. Choose wholesomely and godly and be that, too, and everything works out great.
Don’t sleep around—men or women. It is a sin.
From a practical perspective: 50% of people have at least one venereal disease (treatable or non-treatable). Is that person worth those odds, plus any on-going long-term issues that relationship brings? You are sleeping with ALL the people that person has slept with, and that person, if infected, likely infected others before you got infected. What kind of person was that and what kind of person are you to sleep with THAT?
It amazes me how picky people are about what they eat and how hygenic their food prep has to be but have no problem using these sewage pipes to stick their dees into.
> The developers stored users IDs (driver license images) in an unprotected directory.
Worse than that. They stored the private data they claimed to be erasing on an open website. No effort to hack, no protection from accidental exposure, no clear intention of protecting the data because they made no effort to do so.
I don’t even think it was due to “vibe coding”, looks like a toy prototype deployed without any consideration.
!!!!!
The site left women's drivers licenses publicly available on the Internet.
Ouch!
