Women Dating Safety App Breached

NBC

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 spokesperson confirmed the hack Friday afternoon. The company estimates that 72,000 images, including 13,000 verification photos and images of government IDs, were accessed.

Tea is designed to function as a virtual whisper network for women, allowing them to upload photos of men and search for them by name. Users can leave comments describing specific men as a “red flag” or “green flag,” and share other information about them.

It’s recently gained such popularity that it became the top free app in the Apple App Store this week. The app claimed Thursday to have recently gained nearly a million new signups.

Signing up for Tea requires users to take selfies, which the app says are deleted after review, to prove they are women. All users who get accepted are promised anonymity outside of the usernames they choose. Taking screenshots of what’s in the app is also blocked. more. h/t JDHasty.

  3. Joker over at “Better Bachelor” on Youtube posted about this a couple of days ago; women are able to use the app to effectively ‘cancel’ a man across the geographic areas covered by the apps. Too, it’s quite effective for the ‘women scorned’ to ruin a man by false accusations (not that they’d ever lie).

  4. NBC is so concerned about the privacy of the women who trash talk about men they don’t like, but what about the privacy of the men?

  5. Man Haters Club app for lonely, unhinged, homely Feminists of every imaginary gender whining about men who don’t want to put up with their crazy behavior. Maybe they wanted their personal info exposed on a phony app. It’s a desperate way for them to get attention.
