Tea, a US-based men-vetting app for women has been hacked, with over 70,000 images accessed by the hackers.
The app, created by software engineer Sean Cook in 2022, already had 1.6 million users. The app is a little more robust than traditional dating apps, which are all over the place in the United States.
Tea allows women to vet and get information about the men they’re trying to date or be with. It also helps them to fish out scammers and sex offenders so that other women don’t fall victim.
Additionally, Tea helps women get real-time information from former partners of the men they’re talking to, noting the red flags and the green flags.
Since the breach, thousands of images of women uon the app and their posts have been accessed and a few were circulated online.
Tea blocks users from taking screenshots of any post or image in the app. So, they have exempted themselves from being linked to any related post or image circulating online.
Men and women have condemned the app since it went viral recently. There were concerns about bitter exes who would want to tarnish the image of a man in the app.
There were also concerns of invasion of privacy and potential lies that would be shared on the app.
Tea has dismissed the concerns as the sole aim of the app is to check whether potential partners are married, sex offenders, or scammers.
