The Tea app was intended to help women date safely. Then it got hacked
The dating app Tea, which allows women to anonymously vet men they meet online, recently became the top app on the U.S. Apple App Store before confirming a hack that leaked thousands of images. The app was created to help women date safely and avoid potential risks, but has faced criticism for invading men's privacy. The breach exposed 72,000 images, including selfies and photo IDs, but the company assured users that no email addresses or phone numbers were compromised. Despite the breach, Tea remains committed to securing user data and ensuring privacy.
