The viral dating safety app Tea just faced a serious privacy nightmare—hackers breached its system and leaked over 72,000 user images. That includes 13,000 verification selfies and photo IDs, plus 59,000 pics from posts, DMs, and comments. While the company says that emails and phone numbers weren’t exposed, users who signed up before Feb 2024 are affected. Making it worse? 4chan users reportedly shared some of the leaked content. Ironically, this all happened right after Tea topped the App Store charts. The company says it’s working with cybersecurity experts and has already fixed the issue—but the trust damage is done.
