A viral dating safety app designed for women, Tea, has experienced two significant data breaches in quick succession. The breaches exposed highly sensitive user information, including selfies, identity documents, and over a million direct messages.
The first breach involved an exposed Firebase database containing user selfies and ID images, which later appeared on image boards. The second breach, discovered by security researcher Kasra Rahjerdi and verified by 404 Media, involved a separate, more recent database that included private user conversations.
